Monastic Weekend Glenstal Abbey
I Will Give You Living Water
Monastic Vocation Weekend
Friday Evening November 23rd
to
Sunday Morning November 25th
Chapel Lake at Glenstal Abbey
An opportunity for men of ages 22 to 45 to find out more about monastic life and to listen to God’s call by sharing the rhythm of the monastic day in prayer, silence, reading, work and community life. There will be some reflection together on the monastic vocation, some input from the monks and an opportunity to speak one-to-one with a monk.
WHO IS IT FOR?
This might be for you:
If you feel attracted to monastic life and wonder whether it might be for you;
If you have thought sometimes that God might be calling you to religious life, but have hesitated to take the first step;
If you would like the support of a small group as you enquire about monastic vocation.
To apply for a place or to find out more, email Vocations@glenstal.org or write to Fr Columba McCann OSB, Glenstal Abbey, Murroe, Co Limerick. If you wish to apply for a place, please do so at least a week in advance, that is, by Friday 16th November.

Are you searching for a way to offer yourself in the service of God’s world? “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope ” (Jer.29: 11-14)
Consider joining us over the first weekend of Advent 2012 (30th November – 2nd December 2012) and over a number of other residential weekends to experience and explore where God may be calling you.
“Participating in the exploreAway weekends was a key step on my faith journey. I discovered that everyone is called to a vocation. exploreAway gave me the opportunity I was waiting for to learn more about the vocation of religious life”, Sarah, aged 30 from Co. Longford.
