A Haven in the Wilderness
The Monastery of the Holy Spirit is a place of solitude and peace in a noisy world—a protected sanctuary for spiritual renewal and reflection. The monastery has a long tradition of welcoming those seeking respite in a peaceful environment. The monks spend much of their time in contemplation, searching for truth. This journey into solitude makes them well equipped to accompany others who have embarked on spiritual journeys. Perhaps for this reason, the monastery attracts people at a crossroads in their lives, serving as a haven for those in need of guidance or a quiet rest along the way.
An estimated 70,000 people visit the monastery each year, making it one of the largest tourist attractions in Rockdale County. Individuals of all faiths flock to the monastery; less than half of all visitors are Catholic. With its beautiful, sprawling grounds, the monastery is a popular spot for picnics and daytime strolls, and is a frequent destination for tourists interested in the site’s history. The monastery welcomes guests to experience a retreat for a day, or as long as a week, of restful recollection and spiritual renewal.
The Monastery of the Holy Spirit is located in Conyers, Georgia, 35 miles east of Atlanta.
