Contact the Abbey Vocations Team
Br. David Paul Lange, OSB
Vocations Director
Thank you for your interest in Saint John's Abbey!
Our Vocations Team is happy to discuss any vocation questions you may have, and we offer guidance and support whenever we can. Discerning a possible vocation to religious life and/or the priesthood naturally involves lots of questions, and we’re here to help. Use the contact information below to get in touch with us by whichever means you prefer, and we’ll do our best to answer you in a timely manner.
For anyone able to visit Central Minnesota, know that we provide an opportunity for spiritual retreat and renewal at the Abbey Guesthouse. Giving both time and space for the Spirit to speak to you in the depth of your heart is essential, and guests at the Guesthouse are invited to join the monks for any and all of our prayers.
If you have a sense already that you are interested in visiting Saint John's Abbey to further explore a vocation to Benedictine monastic life, please follow this link to complete an Application for Vocation Discernment.
