Camaldolese Benedictine Monastery

San Luis Obispo, CA

Welcome

We are a community of Camaldolese Benedictine monks who live in community together and pray along with visiting guests, oblates and friends.

The life a Camaldolese Benedictine monk centers on the seeking of Jesus Christ through the ancient, but ever new, monastic heritage of Saint Benedict, as enriched by Saint Romuald.

This life radiates outward in various rhythms, involving him in solitude and community, silence and fraternal encounter, prayer and work, study and recreation.

He is dedicated to the love and praise of God in the bond of fraternal charity.

  We welcome guests.

You are invited to visit, to join us for communal prayer, to spend time in private, silent prayer in the chapel, to meditate while walking or sitting on the grounds, for spiritual direction, to join us as a group for a facilitated retreat, to stay as a guest for a personal, private retreat or to take a virtual retreat.
