Visit Us

Visitors are always welcome at Newark Abbey. Due to the nature of our educational apostolates, our grounds are not open to the public. Before arriving, visitors should make arrangements with one of the monks. If you are interested in an extended visit to the Abbey or visiting to learn more about our life and work, please send us a message over social media or email vocations@sbp.org. Unfortunately, we do not have a retreat/guest house and are unable to host lay retreatants overnight.

Visitors interested in praying with the monks are always welcome to join the monks in St. Mary's Church throughout the day. Click here for the monks' prayer schedule.
