At the Cistercian - Trappist Monastery of Our Lady of Calvary we live a peaceful life with God here in Rogersville New Brunswick and provide a spiritual retreat for men who are searching for God.
Guests are welcome to come on retreat. You do not have to be Catholics or even Christians, but we expect you to be looking for God.
We are only a small community of nine monks of whom only three are priests, so we cannot give directed or preached retreats. The sacrament of reconciliation is always possible. Guests create their own retreat by joining the prayer of the community, by praying and reflecting quietly, by reading and they can also walk in the fields and woods or sit in the guesthouse garden when the weather permits. The farm and certain other areas are reserved to the monks.
The normally expected stay is not more than a week. There is no fixed fee but we suggest $30 a day to cover all meals and lodging.
