Retreatants Stay at St. Benedict’s

Retreatants Stay at St. Benedict’s

In late April, Michaela Wachendorfer facilitated a contemplative retreat in German at the newly renamed St. Benedict’s at Kylemore Abbey – formerly known as the Farm House.

Not only newly renamed, but also completely renovated, St. Benedict’s offered the Swiss and German retreatants privacy, a place for prayer and time together, with opportunities to share prayer and Mass with the Benedictine community in the monastic community and enjoy the Kylemore grounds, as well.

They were blessed with beautiful weather during their retreat, too!
