I just spent four glorious days in reflection in this beautiful and comfortable Abby. The setting is beautiful. The Monks are all very open to discussing any part of your spiritual development regardless of where you are in your spiritual life. I was pleasantly surprise to learn so much about the Church's openness to toward divorcees, homosexuals and those of other Christian denominations who are not interested in conversion to the Catholic Church but are interested in living the Rule of St. Benedict. I can't say enough about how warm and inviting the entire staff made me feel.
