A Special “Chant Retreat” is planned for the second week of August 2025
(More information can be found by clicking on the Retreat House Tab above)
Our Monastery Chapel is temporarily closed to the general public because several of the monks have COVID. We will let you know as soon as conditions permit reopening the Monastery Chapel.
The Gift Shop is also temporarily closed until the monks recover from this latest outbreak of COVID in the community. When this occurs the Gift Shop hours will once again be Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, from 2.15 until 4.15. On Saturdays the Gift Shop is also open from 10.00 – 12.00 Noon, and again from 2.15 until 4.15. PLEASE NOTE: Those hoping to purchase Fruitcakes from our Gift Shop need to know that we are ALL SOLD OUT AS OF Sunday, December 15th. However, cakes can still be purchased online at monasteryfruitcake.org
In the meantime, however, our Retreat House is open but until further notice, access to the confessor/counselor will be very limited and not always guaranteed. For more information on safety measures being implemented in our Retreat House and for making a reservation, please email Carol Hensley at information@hcava.org Also, we will continue to livestream daily mass and the main offices of the day: Lauds and Mass at 7.00 a.m. (Sunday Mass at 10.00 a.m.); Vespers at 5.30 p.m. and Compline at 7.30 p.m. (Please be aware that the quality of both image and sound is far less than ideal because of technical limitations)
