Monastic Experience Weekend at Easter
February 18, 2025
The Unique Experience of a Monastic Easter
The community at Belmont Abbey invite young men discerning their place and vocation in the world to experience monastic life following the footsteps of Christ in the Sacred Triduum. Participants will join the monks in their celebration of the Divine Office, and with moments of prayer, reflection and community life. We offer this opportunity to experience the Benedictine life from the inside.
The weekend is open to men aged 18 to 40, from Thursday 17th April (afternoon arrival) – to Easter Monday 21st April 2025 (morning departure).

We are sad to announce that Fr Stephen died on Monday 21st October 2055. He was 94. He died peacefully in hospital, having recently fractured his shoulder. He was a beloved member of the monastic community, who had settled back at Belmont after many years on Belmont parishes, including in Abergavenny, Swansea, Hereford and Weobley. He will be much missed. His Requiem Mass will be at Belmont on Wednesday, 5th November at 11.30am followed by burial in the monastic cemetery. The Reception of his Body into the Abbey Church will take place on Tuesday, 4th November, at 5.45pm.
With honoured guests we were delighted to open our doors again of our new guesthouse and conference centre: The Chapterhouse.
