Day of Rest and Renewal at the Abbey

Visit St. Andrew’s Abbey for a day of Rest and Renewal.  Enjoy a talk on the history of the Abbey, a tour led by a monk, and a scripture study workshop by John D’Isacco. There are plenty of grounds to explore at the Abbey to take in the beauty and peace of its landscape in the Fall season.   The itinerary includes Mass with the monks, followed by lunch, and, if you choose, you can remain to join in for Vespers (and the desert sunset).

Presenter:  JOHN D’ISACCO, Obl., OSB, has taught scripture at his parish, American Martyrs, for 28 years. He spent 11 years at the Pontifical College Josephinum and did post-graduate work at Loyola University. John has extensive knowledge of the Sacred Scriptures.
