There’s A Monastery Hidden Along The Mountains Of Colorado And You’ll Want To Visit
Are you familiar with monasteries? Basically, they are home to spiritual communities who live under religious vows, and they are just as aesthetically pleasing as you would expect. While monasteries may sound like something you could only find in Europe, you can actually find quite a few here in Colorado, including this hidden monastery that you will want to visit:
Please note, Benet Hill Monastery is temporarily closed due to COVID.

The Monastery's purpose is to "provide the sacred space of hospitality and the use of our human and material resources in education, spirituality, and other viable ministries. We do this with all God’s people with a special emphasis on women."

Benet Hill Monastery was created after the Benedictine Community of Mount St. Scholastica in Kansas purchased land in the Springs in an effort to expand.





And the Benedictine sisters here do beautiful work in many different ways, including operating a thrift store in Colorado Springs, hosting concert series' dedicated to traditional chamber music, and raising awareness for social justice programs and human trafficking prevention organizations.

For more information on the community, tours, retreats, or the monastery itself, please visit their website.
