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).
