Trappist monks. Living, praying and working together since 1848.
The Abbey of Gethsemani is a school of the Lord’s service, a training ground for brotherly love. Following Christ under a rule and an abbot, we Trappist monks lead lives of prayer, work and sacred reading, steeped in the heart and mystery of the Church. The Abbey is a monastery in the Order of the Cistercians of the Strict Observance (OCSO), part of the body of the Roman Catholic Church.
Registration is now open for the 2025 Come and See weekend, for those men who are curious about the monastic vocation. This will be held over the Labor Day weekend, from Friday Aug 29th through Sunday Aug 31, though registrants can stay until Labor Day itself, Monday Sep 1. For more information, click the link below.
