Spiritual Retreats

True to its long tradition of hospitality, the Premonstratentians of Frigolet Abbey regularly welcome individuals wishing to experience a Catholic spiritual retreat.

A spiritual retreat at our monastery typically includes:

  • praying with the community and taking meals in silence with the community in the refectory,
  • devoting time to personal prayer and contemplation,
  • discovering and living in silence and peace,
  • certain individuals might also be conducting research, writing or preparing for exams,

As part of the religious nature of a retreat at Frigolet, we ask that each participant attend at least one religious service per day, according each participant's "spiritual rhythm". The important moments in any day at the monastery are the morning Laudes, Mass and evening Vespers.

A member of our community, typically the frère hôtelier, is available to confer with you during your retreat, if you wish. The maximum duration of a retreat is 8 days..
