Joining the Community in Prayer
If your group wishes to attend Midday Prayer or Vespers, your guide will accompany you and remain with your group during the prayer.
Dining Options
We may be able to accommodate smaller groups for lunch or supper. If your group will stay for lunch or supper, your guide will assist in seating arrangements and explain the Benedictine traditions, including prayers before and after meals and maintaining a respectful silence.
