About Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery
Updated: May 2, 2026
We did not establish the Monastery for us…. we established it because God called us to respond to a need in this Diocese in this place where people are welcomed: hospitality, the Benedictine charisms, and to assist in the formation of Benedictine spirituality for all who are called to it…. regardless of faith or culture….and to receive each one as Christ. The need for a retreat space, solitude on holy ground, smaller faith community, a welcoming place for folks who were disenfranchised from their faith, a need for formation in spiritual growth that people are experiencing…these were and continue to be our call and how those elements continue to be served have changed in some ways the core of those elements are still in the vision God has for this monastery at this time in history.
