OPENED IN 2006, the guesthouse has fully achieved its vision of being a place of hospitality, retreat, prayer, and reflection for all. The thirty rooms provide guests and retreatants access to the abundant natural beauty surrounding Saint John’s. Men and women of all faiths are welcome to come for a time of spiritual renewal. In addition to joining the monks for daily prayer and Eucharist, guests are also welcomed to participate in retreats sponsored by the Saint John’s Abbey Spiritual Life Program. For those who choose, spiritual direction is also available with one of the monks trained in the practice. The Abbey continues to need to raise funds toward this endowment for the support of the programs and facility of the Saint John’s Abbey Guesthouse.
