In light of COVID-19, we have had to sadly cancel our Abbey Retreat Course scheduled for 8/3-8/7/2020. We are however working on preparations for next year's dual sessions - one week in June, 2021, and one week in August, 2021, at the Abbey of the Genesee. Keep an eye on our website for further updates and details.
May St. Bernard, our patron, continue to lead us ever closer to Christ our Savior as we navigate these challenging times. We look forward to seeing you at next year's Abbey Retreat Courses!
Located in the Genesee Valley right by the Genesee River, the Abbey is a place of solitude and beauty, lending itself to the practice of prayer and contemplation. The daily rhythm of the monks also provides order and structure throughout the day - of which retreatants are invited to partake by joining in praying the Liturgy of the Hours.
