"Let us reflect upon the holy Apostles. They endured immense suffering and persecution for the sake of their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Their unwavering dedication and fortitude in the face of tribulation serve as a powerful example for us. May we, too, embrace our trials with the same faith and perseverance, assured that our reward will be everlasting in the kingdom of heaven."
St. Athanasius of Alexandria

Retreat Rules
Booking Guidelines
  • Retreat bookings must be made at least three days in advance of the desired date.
  • A maximum of seven days can be booked for a retreat reservation.
  • The maximum capacity of our retreat facility is 25 boys and 20 girls.
Saftey
  • Retreatants are responsible for their health insurance and, by accepting the reservation agreement, waive all rights of action against St. Anthony Monastery. A certificate of insurance must be presented to the Monastery once the church group arrives. All retreatants must exercise caution. No exceptions.
  • Individuals and church groups spending an overnight retreat at the monastery must make safety their first and highest priority.
Chaperones
  • All church groups must be accompanied by at least two adult chaperones (or servants). One is the Retreat Coordinator, who communicates with the Monastery for the registration process, and one (1) adult for every five (5) youth under the age of 18.
  • Chaperones are expected to maintain the discipline of their group to ensure a safe retreat experience for everyone using the Retreat Center.
Respect & Cleanliness
  • The monastery buildings and grounds are sacred. We hope you will sense this blessing throughout the monastery complex and treat it with care as if God were walking through your door.
  • Retreatants are expected to leave the Retreat Center facilities in the same condition (or better!) where they were found. This includes the grounds, and the rooms, including thoroughly cleaning the bathroom area and removing all trash.
  • All materials that can be recycled, including cans, glass, plastic bottles, and newsprint, must be cleaned and disposed of.
  • The Monastery and its Retreat Center are smoke-free, drug-free and alcohol-free facilities. The use of cigarettes, drugs and alcohol is strictly prohibited.
  • Pets are not allowed on the Monastery's premises.
Retreat Termination will occur, and a fine will incur if your group:
  1. Damages, defaces, or removes any Monastery Center property.
  2. Fails to comply with the rules and guidelines of the Retreat Center.
  3. Disturbs other people during their stay.
  4. Brings cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs on the property.
