Prayer
Welcome! For over 900 years, Cistercian abbeys around the world are oases of prayer, work, beauty, silence and light - a place to dwell and delve deeper to the heart of Christ. For us who make the Abbey of Our Lady of New Clairvaux our home, we invite you to come away a while and share in this oasis and we pray you carry with you that beauty, serenity and light you experience here back into our world.
annual community retreat
The monastic community of New Clairvaux Abbey will be on retreat from November 11th - 16th. The retreat is led by Father Patrick Lee, SJ. Father Pat is a Jesuit priest and former provincial superior for the Oregon province. He currently works in formation assisting the novice director. With his background in the Jesuit spiritual tradition, Father brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the Trappist-Cistercian monks of New Clairvaux Abbey.
