Visitor Information
~ On the Grounds ~
The Monastery strives to offer a spiritual oasis and hospitality for its visitors. If you are a first-time guest, please call ahead before arriving to ensure we can accommodate you and provide a welcoming experience.
-
GPS: some navigation systems show our location as Marietta, Wisconsin.

Cell service: we do not receive the most reliable coverage at the Monastery. If one drives to the entrance of the valley there is better service there for making calls.

Internet: because of our rural location, the Monastery uses Starlink for internet.
Keeping in mind the traditional practices of our Church, guests are kindly asked to observe the following customs to help maintain a spirit of prayer during services:

Men and boys should wear pants and long sleeves if possible.

Women and girls should wear a long skirt or dress, and long sleeves if possible.
