The pilgrim’s guide

What makes this visit meaningful

Plan around sung Benedictine worship, not only the celebrated architecture and viewpoint. Day visitors and overnight retreatants follow different rules.

01

Abbey church

Experience the modern church through its light, art, acoustics, and monastic liturgy.

02

Sung prayer

Arrange the visit around the community's public Mass or Divine Office.

03

Fraser Valley grounds

Walk the permitted grounds and overlook the valley in silence.

Overnight stay available

The abbey accepts retreat groups that may include men and women and individual male guests; individual women are directed to Queen of Peace Monastery. Confirm current eligibility before planning.
