Retreat Ministry
The monastery provides a peaceful environment where individuals and groups can encounter God through silence, prayer, and reflection.
Set apart from the busyness and distractions of everyday life, Stella Maris Cistercian Monastery offers a sacred space of quiet sanctuary. Here, souls seeking spiritual refreshment, clarity, and deeper intimacy with the Divine are welcomed into an atmosphere permeated by prayer and monastic tranquility.
Whether attending as an individual pilgrim seeking solitude or as a parish, religious, or lay group, retreatants are invited to step into the gentle rhythm of monastic life. Surrounded by sacred silence and natural peace, visitors can step back, listen to the still, small voice of God, and realign their lives with His grace.
What Our Retreat Ministry Offers

- Liturgical Participation: Opportunities to join the monastic community in the celebration of the Holy Mass and the chanting of the Divine Office.
- Guided & Private Reflection: Space for personal journaling, spiritual reading, Eucharistic Adoration, and prayerful contemplation.
- Individual & Group Accommodations: Tailored retreat experiences for individual quiet days, weekend parish groups, and structured religious recollections.
We invite all who are weary, discerning a calling, or simply yearning for a deeper connection with the Creator to come, rest, and be renewed in His presence.
