» Overnight Visitors/Retreatants
1. We ask all retreatants—individuals, families, and churches—to bring their own bed sheets and pillow cases to use during their retreat at the Abbey.
2. All overnight visitors are asked to register online and fax a permission letter from their Confessor Father prior to visiting the Abbey. This is a requirement to all our visitors who wish to spend one or more nights at the Abbey. Please follow the instructions described in the Visiting section of the Web site.
» Driving to the Abbey: For those who drive to the Abbey and use a GPS system, you must input the intersection of the Abbey on the system — Scout's Path and Blackbear Drive. Click here for driving directions.
During the blessed month of Koiahk, several retreatants and churches visited the Abbey. Among those groups are the youths from St. Mary & St. Mercurius, Belleville, NJ, and St. Mina – Holmdel, NJ.

 St. Mary & St. Moses Abbey was recently blessed by the visit of His Grace Bishop Mettaous, Abbot of St. Mary El-Sourian Monastery. His Grace arrived on Tuesday and stayed until Friday (Sept. 25-28). His Grace celebrated the Divine Liturgy, along with His Grace Bishop Youssef, on the first day of the Feast of the Cross. His Grace had several meetings with the Fathers, the Monks, and the Brothers of the Abbey, as well as the the Retreat Center youth.

Giving to St. Mary & St. Moses Abbey
There are many different ways to support St. Mary & St. Moses Abbey. You may contribute by giving monetary donations directly to the Abbey online or by check.
We ask all our visitors to deposit monetary donations in the donation boxes instead of bringing food items to the Abbey. We thank all our visitors for their care, and we ask that they give the equivalent of the food price in monetary donations. The Abbey will be able to utilize the monetary donations in order to offset some of the expenses. "...for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7)
