Designing Your Sabbatical
Sabbatical Guests
Those who choose Saint Meinrad for their sabbatical are women and men
from all areas of Church life, many of whom are involved in ministry.
Priests, deacons, religious and lay persons are all welcome. Sabbaticals
also can be designed for educators and administrators.
Length of Stay
Guests in our sabbatical program may tailor the length of their stay from
one month to a full year. Those who choose to enroll in our regular academic
programs should plan at least one semester's stay.
Content
Depending on the length of stay and one's personal needs and desires,
a number of program components may be chosen:
- Personal study, writing and
reflection
-
Courses
for credit or audit in our School of Theology
- Spiritual direction
- Personal counseling
- Retreats and workshops
- Recreation and relaxation in a serene environment
In addition, participants have access to other resources of the School and
the monastery, including participation in monastic prayer, student liturgical
life, lectures and concerts. Theater, sightseeing and travel opportunities are
available in the local area, including day trips to such places as
New Harmony, IN, and Shakertown, KY. Participants also may spend time together
in prayer, theological reflection and socializing.
