Oblate Monastic Summer Studium

The Monastic Summer Studium is designed to engage Benedictine Oblates with the rich values of prayer, study, community and reflection over the course of the summer session. Participate in one, two, or three inspiring weeks.

This year’s immersive program features reflections on the Opus Dei, the Divine Office: Scripture (Week I), Music (Week II), and Liturgy (Week III).

Augmenting this experience, participants will share pilgrimages to iconic Benedictine shrines around Rome, including St. Paul’s Outside-the-Walls and the shrine of Saint Benedict (Sacro Speco) at Subiaco. The all-inclusive fee covers tuition, room, board, and access to all organized activities. The program also features generous personal time for prayer and exploration in the heart of Italy.

This is an opportunity that allows oblates to deepen their spiritual life, connect with a vibrant Benedictine community and experience the enduring treasures of Benedictine prayer, study and hospitality at the headquarters of the worldwide Benedictine Confederation.

Participants are reminded that this adventure includes a significant amount of walking. Comfortable shoes and dress are encouraged. This program is limited to 20 persons.
