2025 Saint Vincent Archabbey Retreats
A retreat can be a catalyst for spiritual renewal and for concentrating on God’s purpose for our earthly existence. The monks of Saint Vincent Archabbey have tended to the spiritual needs of Christian men and women for over one hundred fifty years and have been involved in retreat ministry since 1913.
We have expanded our retreat program this year. If you are a long-time retreat participant, we hope to see you again. If you are new to the retreat program, we welcome you. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Saint Vincent Archabbey was founded in 1846 by Boniface Wimmer of Germany and is the first Benedictine monastery in North America. The monks of the abbey serve as retreat masters, spiritual directors, confessors, the program director, and retreat program assistants.
