The annual Abide Retreat, held October 2-4, 2026 at Mount Angel Abbey, is an opportunity for meaningful time away to process what God is doing in our lives and to grow beyond our knowledge of the Gospel to an embodied understanding of life in the Gospel. Through group opportunities, instruction in spiritual practice, and plenty of time for personal solitude, we end the weekend refreshed and with a clearer vision of God’s presence.

This year’s retreat theme is Living the Liturgical Year, with a special emphasis on seeking God’s presence in Ordinary Time.

Due to the nature of the retreat, this is an event for adults.

Cost for the weekend ranges from $340-$460 based on room arrangements. All meals are included in the price. Spouses attending together will be reserved a double occupancy room.

Single occupancy for 2 nights: $340

Double occupancy for 2 nights: $460 (cost is $230 per person)
