Our monastic community serves the people of God through our Benedictine hospitality, “We welcome all as Christians. We invite people to pray with us and experience the ancient monastic duty of praising God, Opus Dei. Our guesthouse is ready to accommodate your quiet, spiritual needs. We believe in offering the people of God an oasis in the middle of their hectic lives. We provide an opportunity for individuals to get in touch with God and with themselves. St. Leo Abbey provides an enormous amount of silence that helps them to put their life priorities in order.
Our guesthouse is located just off beautiful Lake Jovita for a quiet, spiritual getaway from a sometimes hectic world. Lodging includes meals that you will share in the same dining room with our monastic community. We have a private study, kitchen with microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker, and a screened back porch with a lake view.
Our guesthouse has 4 rooms for single occupancy (no sharing of rooms) but we are also able to accommodate married couples wishing to retreat together in one room in our largest of the rooms. Just ask for our availability for your desired dates.
We can accommodate guests up to 6 nights at any one time and anything in between Monday-Sunday. This allows others to enjoy a retreat with us as well.
