the Sacred Triduum at Belmont Abbey
Experience the Sacred Triduum at Belmont Abbey
A Monastic Retreat: April 1 – 5, 2026
Step out of the world and into the rhythm of the Abbey. Join the Benedictine
monks of Belmont Abbey for a unique four-day retreat during the holiest days of
the Christian calendar. This is more than a visit; it is an invitation to live, pray, and
walk alongside our community as we journey through the Passion, Death, and
Resurrection of Christ.
What to Expect:
The Monastic Rhythm: Join the monks in the Basilica for the Chant of the
Divine Office.
The Sacred Triduum: Participate in the beautiful liturgies of Holy
Thursday, Good Friday, and the Great Easter Vigil.
Community & Silence: Experience the balance of communal prayer and
quiet reflection in our beautiful and peaceful monastery.
Personal Connection: Opportunity for spiritual conferences, spiritual
direction, and conversations with the monks to learn about the Benedictine
Way of Life.
"All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed like Christ." — Rule of Saint Benedict
