You are welcome here
“All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ.” –Rule of Benedict
Holy Wisdom Monastery is a place of welcome. We respect all people, and welcome guests with diverse views and customs. Reverence for all guests comes out of the Benedictine tradition of hospitality. We invite you to join those who say, “When I come in the door, it feels like coming home.”
