  1. Follow the Retreat Center Rules and Guidelines;
  2. Complete the Retreat Request form below; and
  3. Submit a permission letter from the sponsoring priest.
Please note the following:
  1. Female retreatants are allowed to stay for an overnight retreat only when accompanied for the whole duration of their stay by their priest.
  2. The sponsoring priest can submit the permission letter by sending an email to stmarystmosesretreathouse@gmail.com. The letter can also be faxed to (817) 231-0135.
  3. As much as possible, the monastery attempts to check retreat requests daily and respond accordingly. Typically, you will receive a confirmation for your request within three days after the monastery receives your permission letter. Therefore, please work with your father of confession to ensure it is submitted.
  4. If your application is denied, you will be notified through email. The Abbey reserves the right to deny any application without explaining the reasons.
