April 3, 2016 oblate ceremonies & family picnic

Saint Leo Abbey bell tower calls monks to prayer


April 3, 2016 is the Saint Leo Abbey oblates' ceremonies and family picnic. Everyone is invited.

The event is a good way to be introduced to the oblate program and the oblates of Saint Leo Abbey who are Catholic and non-Catholic lay men and women seeking God by following the Rule of Saint Benedict. The oblate program is directed by Father Abbot Isaac, O.S.B. (Order of Saint Benedict).

If you have never been to a Benedictine abbey please come and see. The abbey welcomes all visitors. You are especially invited to come and pray with the monks several times a day.

During their 1,500-year history Benedictine monks welcomed pilgrims all across Europe. During the dark ages after the fall of the Roman Empire, the monks preserved and then helped build a new Christian civilization in Europe. Saint Leo Abbey's monks welcome all pilgrims in today's spiritual dark ages. They will welcome you as Christ.
