Spacious grounds and comfortable conference rooms provide solitude for rest, lectio divina (sacred reading), prayer, quiet and reflection.  The giant sequoia tree, a Heritage Tree of Oregon, towering in front the monastery, was planted in 1893 by Sister Protasia Schindler.

​

Meet with a spiritual director who listens reflectively with you and assists you with “noticing” how God is present in your life.  “[Spiritual} directors do not create relationships between God and their directees, they simply foster these relationships so that they may deepen and grow.” (WA Barry and WJ Connolly)  To schedule an appointment, please call Sister Joan Pokorny, OSB, 503 949-6284, or Sister Dorothy Jean Beyer, OSB, 503-845-2556.
