Basilica of the Blessed Virgin of Gethsemani

Retreats are a special, transformative experience, often requiring booking 4 months in advance, and visitors find the silence allows for deep reflection.

The monks are consistently described as friendly, helpful, kind, and welcoming, contributing to a positive experience.

Visitors can join the monks in chanting the Liturgy of the Hours in the main chapel, with times posted online and outside the chapel.

The community offers a peaceful and beautiful environment, ideal for connecting with God and escaping daily hustle.

Parking is available, and the main chapel has handicap accessible entrances, with restrooms located near the guest entrance and in the gift shop area.

Fr. Carlos, the Guestmaster, provides inspiring conference talks during retreats.
