BENEDICT INN RETREAT & CONFERENCE CENTER
The
seed was planted 1500 years ago
The
Benedict Inn Retreat & Conference Center, opened
in 1981, was founded on the 5th century teachings
of Benedict of Norcia, Italy. In The Rule of Benedict,
St. Benedict provided a guideli ne for those seeking
happiness and spiritual fulfillment through a search
for God in the ordinary aspects of daily life -- eating,
sleeping, working, praying -- all performed in moderation.
In
effect, Benedict endorsed a balanced life. He also
believed spiritual progress depended on finding Christ
in each person. As a result, his directive to "Let everyone who comes be received as Christ" flowered into the renown hospitality for which all Benedictine monasteries are now known.
