So often people tell us how much they enjoy being away from all the stresses and distractions of everyday life during their stay at St. Benedict Center.  A person doesn’t have to think of cooking or other household chores.  Plus, a person has distance to phones, email and social networking.  Cellphones don’t even work in the Center.  On the other hand, if somebody needs to reach you while you are here, they can call the phone number of St. Benedict Center, 402-352-8819, and the message will be posted for you.  Emergency messages will be delivered immediately.

Take a day off and treat yourself with some alone time in the beautiful and prayerful environment of St. Benedict Center!  Come to the Center for a quiet day or several quiet days.  Enjoy the quiet outdoor spaces for solitude, reflection and prayer!  Walk the paths on the beautifully landscaped grounds and rest on the lake-side benches!  Search your heart and inner self while enjoying sunrises over the lake or sunsets on the hill!  Spend some time of meditation and prayer in the Adoration Chapel.  Join the monks for prayer at the monastery!  Rest in the solitude of a private modern room or a double room to share with a friend!

Midweek Meditative Moments: Especially during the week the Center is ideal for spending time by oneself because weekdays tend to be even quieter.  On weekends the place is busier with various groups, whereas during the week it is possible that you are all by yourself or share the facility with only a few guests.
