  • The church and the property were beautiful. Very helpful staff in the monks store which was surprisingly huge with a lot of items. We bought several things and will definitely go back.

  • I learned of this Abbey through Henri Nouwen's Genessee Diary in which he wrote about his stay here. I gained insights into this wonderful place and its people. It is a beautiful place to finally visit first hand.
  • This is one of my favorite places in the entire world. I’ve stayed at the Bethlehem Retreat house and Mike Souter, the manager, is the best. The cooks are also so helpful and make such tasty hearty and healthy food. Going away every year helps me keep balance. This place has such an anointing, the silence and solitude I am able to have here allows me to be able to hear God clearer. I am forever grateful for this place and to these monks who live a life open to God’s presence and pray each and every day for our world.
