The monks of St. Mary's Abbey welcomed 22 Vocation Directors from Benedictine monasteries throughout North America to a special workshop on the ministry of vocation discernment from July 5-9, 2018.

Abbot Christopher Jamison, O.S.B., President of the English Benedictine Congregation, and Ruth Holgate, Director of the Loyola Hall Spirituality Center, led the conference.

Our guests joined us for Divine Office, Mass and meals. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants visited the MET’s Cloisters in Fort Tyron Park, NY and joined the monks of Newark Abbey for Mass and supper.

The monks of St. Mary's Abbey wish to express their gratitude for all who attended. We hope you had a great time!
