"Let all guests be welcomed as Christ" 
-The Rule of St. Benedict

On behalf of the Abbot and monks of Conception Abbey, it is my pleasure to welcome you to this quiet rural setting. St. Benedict tells us that "All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me." We hope that after one visit, you will never be a stranger to Conception Abbey.

May your stay be spiritually refreshing and personally relaxing. The Abbey Guest Center provides simple accommodations in an atmosphere of quiet, perfect for private prayer and reflection. We hope you will take the opportunity to join the monks for the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours in the Abbey Basilica.

If there is anything we can do to make your visit more pleasant and refreshing, please do not hesitate to contact any of us at the numbers below.

In Christ's peace,

Fr. Patrick

Conception Quick Facts

The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception is the heartbeat of Conception Abbey. The monks gather here 6 times a day for prayer and Mass. Renovated in 1999, it contains one of the world's best collections of Beuronese art, exemplified in the murals that adorn its walls. The murals were painted by Benedictine monks trained at Beuron in the late 19th century.
