Saint John's Abbey, Collegeville, MN Spiritual Life Program Daily Reflection Daily Reflections Fr. As of 1 May 2001, the Spiritual Life Program is delighted to provide a link to Fr. Group Retreats Groups are invited to arrange a one-day guided retreat with our staff or with the group's own presenter. Overnight retreat accommodations are limited to groups of 12-15. The only conference retreat for groups is the annual retreat for Benedictine oblates , oblate candidates and spouses of oblates.
Emphasis is given to lectio divina , the ancient, Benedictine practice of prayer-filled reading.
We welcome men and women of all faiths to Collegeville. A number of monks provide individual spiritual direction within retreat settings or by individual arrangement. In both cases, you will find time and place for solitude, rest, reading, reflection, and prayer. We welcome men and women of all faiths. Retreatants are welcome to join the monks for public monastic prayer and to attend or participate in the Eucharist daily.
