About Us

Our goal as a Retreat Center is to offer guests a place to rest, pray, contemplate, and revitalize visitors’ relationships with God. This spiritual renewal should help one deepen awareness of God’s presence and action in his or her life.

Our Retreat Center offers both day and overnight accommodations for private, self-directed retreats and also host’s groups, which come to the Abbey with their own programs and group facilitators or directors.

How We Got Started

St. Benedict’s Abbey is a Benedictine monastery located in Benet Lake, Wisconsin. St. Benedict’s Abbey was founded in 1945 by Fr. Richard Felix, OSB, a monk of Conception Abbey in Missouri. All we do is dedicated to the glory of God as St. Benedict instructs in his Rule. We exist to praise God in our daily cycle of prayer and work, welcome guests, educate future priests, and share the Gospel. Learn more about us and know you are always welcome at St. Benedict’s Abbey.
