What’s Included in a Visit to Sant’Anselmo

  • Welcome in the church atrium
  • Church tour (conducted discreetly to maintain a prayerful atmosphere)
  • Cloister visit: pausing at the statue of Abbot Hildebrand to learn about the life of Sant’Anselmo and the Benedictine Confederation
  • Refectory visit (if available)
  • For groups under 25 people: we will conclude in the Abbot Primate’s parlor, where a small refreshment can be arranged in advance.
  • For groups over 25 people: we will conclude in the meeting hall, with the same option for refreshments available.

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.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sant’Anselmo during this sacred Jubilee year!
