We encourage you to visit us at either or both of our Community houses, to experience our monastic rhythms, to meet and talk with the Sisters, and to share in our life of worship.  (First-time visitors may find this Frequently Asked Questions guide helpful.)

If you are in the Brewster, NY, area (about an hour north of NYC), we invite you to join us for worship and meals at Melrose/Bluestone Farm.  Our schedule varies, given our farmwork and our need to adjust for changing daylight hours, so please contact us to let us know that you'd like to come by.

You are also welcome to make a personal retreat at Melrose/Bluestone Farm.  There, you can enjoy miles of meditative walks through the surrounding forest, or walk along the banks of the nearby lakes.  You may also wish to participate in the life and work of the farm, helping plant, tend, or harvest crops that nourish us year-round.  For more information on retreats at Melrose/Bluestone Farm, click here.

If you are in New York City, and you would like to come worship with us, please call to find out the Office schedule (212-666-8249, extension 100).  

St. Hilda’s House will be relocating to a new convent building in West Harlem in the Summer of 2010. The sisters have permanently closed the guest ministry at St. Hilda’s House, effective May 15, 2010. We are unable to make any future reservations.
