Open House at Mount St Benedict Monastery
Whether you've been to the monastery hundreds of times or never, we'd love to have you visit. It's appropriate to welcome guests on the Feast of St Benedict who considered hospitality a central monastic value. The sisters will be happy to tell you about our home and life.
--Visit significant spaces of the monastery including the chapel, the library, and other areas that shape our lives
--Spend time with our large collection of Brother Thomas Bezanson pottery—Br Thomas's work is found in museums around the world
--Enjoy refreshments in the monastery dining room and visit with sisters and oblates
--Walk the beautiful grounds, the Garden of Memories and the trails through the woods to the hermitages
--Chapter 57, the monastery gift shop, will be open
--We will pull the winners of our 2026 Annual Drawing at 4:30 in the dining room—get your tickets at the Open House if you didn't receive them in the mail
