St. Scholastica Priory

Monastic Experience Weekends

Twice a year St. Scholastica Priory hosts Monastic Experience Weekends for single Roman Catholic women between the ages of 18-40 who are interested in discerning their vocation. In 2024 the weekends will be held on June 7-9 and October 11-13.

This is a great opportunity to learn discernment tools and experience what life is like inside the monastery:

Pray with the nuns in church

Eat with them in the refectory

Work side-by-side with the nuns

Hear individual nuns tell the story of their journey into the monastery

Speak personally with a nun about your own journey

There are conferences throughout the day on monastic history and spirituality, lectio divina, and how to discern a vocation. Participants stay at the guesthouse; there is no charge to attend.

To sign up for a Weekend, or for more information, please contact our vocation director:

If you would like to discuss and discern a monastic vocation, or just make a retreat, dates for a visit can be arranged outside of the Monastic Weekends.
