Each year the Oblates of Conception Abbey come for days of retreat, spiritual renewal, and community.
The quiet setting and rural atmosphere of Conception Abbey is the ideal setting for those wishing to make a private retreat. Individuals are invited to join the monastic community for prayer and Eucharist in the Basilica, or chart their own course for days spent at Conception Abbey.
