COVID-19 Policy Update 8/4/21

As the COVID-19 delta variant continues to spread throughout Indiana, the Benedict Inn Retreat & Conference Center will continue to follow CDC guidelines regarding face masks.  Effective immediately, we are asking all visitors and staff (whether vaccinated or not) to wear face masks in public areas while inside the building. 

Public areas inside the building include the lobby, library, hallways, offices, gift shop, dining room, elevators, stairwells, and shared restrooms.  Masks are optional in guest bedrooms, conference rooms, small meeting rooms, and outside the building.  

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has reported that “in rare occasions, some vaccinated people infected with the delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and spread the virus to others. While a vaccinated person may not get sick from the infection, they can still spread the virus to others, including people who are more at risk for severe illness, such as unvaccinated or immunocompromised individuals”. 

This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the frustration of wearing face masks when visiting the Benedict Inn.  First and foremost, our intent is to ensure the sisters, visitors, and staff – especially those who are most vulnerable - are protected as much as possible. During this uncertain and unprecedented time, we appreciate your cooperation and understanding. 

We’re in this together.  With our joint efforts, the Benedict Inn Retreat & Conference Center will continue to be a safe place for peace of mind, body & spirit. 

1.  We ask our guests and staff to continue to wear a mask in public areas while in the building.  Please provide your own mask.

2. We ask potential guests to stay home if you are feeling sick.

3. Restrooms will be sanitized twice a day. 

4. Guests are strongly encouraged to wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

5. Hand sanitizer will be available at several locations throughout the building, but we encourage guests to bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer with them.

6. Employees will wear personal protective equipment (gloves & masks) when preparing and serving food and when cleaning.

7. Guests must receive special permission before visiting the monastery at this time.

We are grateful for your continued support and look forward to seeing you soon!
