Luigi Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Benedictine Monks - Mary, Mother of the Church abbey in Richmond, VA. They operate a military school - pretty ritzy from what I can tell. It's a small community of monks, but they've had a number of vocations recently. http://www.richmondmonks.org/ ################ DISCERNMENT WEEKEND When: Fri Oct 16 - Sun Oct 18Where: Abbey For Who?: Men 18 - 45Call: 804.708.9653Email: vocations@richmondmonks.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Monastic Immersion Weekend - Virginia Trappists - with nearly full scholarship https://www.virginiatrappists.org/join-us-in-prayer/join-us/monastic-immersion-weekend/ MIW almost full-scholarship offered AUGUST 8, 2015 BY KURT LEAVE A COMMENT We actually call each Monastic Immersion Weekend group a ‘class’ since we only have two MIWs a year. We also say, after you attend that you have been ‘crossed’ because you receive a new Holy Cross Abbey crucifix from the Abbot your first night here in a fairly moving ceremony at the high altar in the abbey church. Some, who have attended more than one MIW, consider themselves ‘double crossed’ having received more than one cross from the Abbot. One of our double crossed MIW alumni so enjoys the abbey he has sent a check to cover the cost of the MIW ($300) for someone who perhaps would like to attend but can’t afford it. If you are interested in this scholarship send email to companions@virginiatrappists.org and let us know … we’ll consider each person applying (along with our alumnus donor) and let you know. Do it quickly though because there are only a couple slots left. The MIW (information at Take Part on the home page) is September 11-13 this year.

Luigi Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Come and See Weekend: Friday 13 November - Sunday 15 November Written by Fr Augustine Wednesday, 14 October 2015 17:50 Last Updated on Wednesday, 14 October 2015 17:57 I think this is the first Come & See Weekend this monastery has offered. They're English Congregation Benedictines, but only about four or five of the monks these days are from England - all the rest are American. They run a very upscale and academically rigorous school for boys, grades 6 through 12. A buddy of mine is the prior there. They have LOTS of younger monks. There are maybe 30 or 32 monks in the monastery, and about 12 of them are considered "juniors." Maybe six or seven of the monks graduated from the monastery's high school. Interesting footnote - the abbot had polio as a child (probably the last man in America to have polio!), so he uses a golf cart to get around the grounds and those waist-high crutches to get around in a building.

It seems like it wouldn't cost more than $50 to feed and house someone for a weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd e-mail the monk-in-charge and ask him if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Michigan and Nashville Dominicans charge about $50 but that makes more sense to me since they house many people and food costs can add up.
