weston priory

It being Ash Wednesday, we visited Weston Priory for a few moments of peace within a week filled with much to do. The monks at Weston continue to offer a place where one can take a break from the bustling world. The gift shop is stocked with great Catholic writers like Chittister and Rohr. The gift items are reasonably priced and displayed well.

This place is a must see if in Weston area. beautiful setting, great people ...so much peace and charm...we would love to go back in the summer...

Benedictine Monks sing during prayers/Mass services. The filled Priory Shoppe has books, Music CD's etc, souvenirs made by the Monks as well as other artists.

I've been to the priory on many occasions but this past Sunday's worship was special. If you can attend the 11:30 Sunday Eucharist it will be a treat. The setting is wonderful especially with the fall colors but any time is beautiful. A quiet, serene place. Great bookstore/gift shop too. Worth the drive and the time.

My wife and I happened upon the Priory while visiting the Weston area. We were immediately impressed with the quiet and serene atmosphere, where it is possible to truly be thoughtful, prayerful and reflective. We weren't able to stay more than an hour, but left impressed. I think we both know we will return.

If you want to enjoy a peaceful soul searching service, you should attend. It was in a barn setting, in the country, Most enjoyable songs and chants.

I have been to the priory many times but this time as we pulled in the parking lot was full of cars. We were intrigued to find a large group of people gathered in the barn with the monks celebrating Mass. We were just in time to join in with everyone. It was an extraordinary experience filled with song, chant and peaceful reflection. What a joy to experience this!

Very beautiful, relaxing, peaceful - the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate. We enjoy going there as a couple and with family including children. It is so serine! We always feel like new people when we leave. Highly recommended. A wonderful place to spend a couple of hours or the entire day just sitting and reading.

If you are searching for a little bit of heaven on earth, you must travel to Weston! The Priory is open for private prayer or for personal meditation. The monks are awesome: quiet but very helpful when needed.

Thank you Carmen for sending us to this place. It was a great recommendation ! My wife and I loved it as well as the entire town of Weston.

The priests and brothers do such a wonderful job in bringing the liturgy back to its roots. Very moving.Lovely spot to visit.

This is our go-to place for spiritual renewal. The setting is serene, but more important to us is the peace and justice message-- and the joy--of the brothers, which are transmitted in many ways-- in the way they live their lives, in their music, and in the communal daily prayer to which all are invited.

do stop here if you're in the area. the priory is a beautiful space, with a lovely giftshop/bookstore and there is a chapel and visitor center too.

The Weston Priory is a very special place that made me move to Vermont. I spend a long weekend here every year. As soon as I arrive I feel all stress melt away. Peace abounds at this beautiful place. The brothers are wonderful!

This was one of the most peaceful places I have visited in he past three years. It was nice to walk around the property and experience the quiet in a beautiful setting. If you like Zen or need a quiet break to unwind, this is the place for you. It is definitely worth the stop. If you really like it, you can drop a few dollars in the offering box in the chapel.
