PLAN A VISIT

YOUR VISIT TO BELMONT ABBEY

Sometimes we need to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily living to more clearly discern the direction God is calling us in.

Belmont Abbey is situated on a 700-acre campus in the Piedmont area of North Carolina. Our situation offers us some strong advantages for discernment:

  •      We are close enough to the conveniences of modern urban life for easy accessibility…
  •      Yet the sheer size of our campus buffers us from the distractions of ordinary life.

Find the peace you are looking for to hear that “still small voice” while wandering our beautifully wooded campus, praying in the St. Joseph Adoration Chapel, or sitting quietly in our Lourdes Grotto – a dedicated Pilgrimage Shrine.

If you are a man age 21 – 50 and are interested in discerning a vocation to our monastery, please give Fr. Elias a call at (704)-461-6689.

Or if you would simply like to stay here for a spiritual retreat, please contact our Guestmaster at (704)-461-6675.

We offer accommodations to our guests free of charge.
