This week, the Abbot Mark Braun Retreat House will host its first gathering. Yesterday, February 10th, on the Feast of St. Scholastica, Abbot Lawrence Stasyszen, OSB blessed the new facility with the monastic community, staff members and other guests in attendance. Numerous donors stepped forward to make this much needed facility possible. The retreat house features 60 single-occupancy rooms, conference rooms, break-out rooms and a chapel.
