Description:

This monastery of the Trappist order occasionally serves as a place of spiritual retreat for visitors. Located in the foothills of the Santa Rita Mountains near the town of Sonoita, it offers a place for both quiet solitary meditation and attendance of the church services. Accommodation and light food is provided for $25 per night. Spiritual books are available at the gift store. To get to the abbey, take I-10 east to exit 281 (Sonoita/Patagonia); after 21 miles, turn into Garden Canyon Road, then turn right at the fork about one mile down that road.

A Place I'll Never Forget

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/11/07

It is hard to explain what happened to me when I went to Santa Rita ..... my heart was touched and the experience remains with me each day. If I close my eyes I see myself in the midst of the sisters, I see the Santa Rita Mountains surrounding the foothills of this small Monastery, I see the sunsets and sunrises, I hear the absence of noice.... did you ever hear the absence of noice? .... a silence so quiet, so still .... it speaks GOD to the soul! I would love to go back to Santa Rita, but it is not God's Will for me. If you read this review .... if you are a young woman who is searching for the presence of God in your life .... would you go to Santa Rita and maybe you can live out the call for me.

A Garden

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/20/06

A Garden In this place I found a Garden springing up a mystery of color. God's color beautified in the creation of souls. Time is spent in the Garden, digging the soil, cultivating it, to make it ready for the rain and sun. Do you feel sorry for the desert, do you think it doesn't have a Garden? Its grass the color of brown instead of green. Flowers sparse and rarely seen. Do you feel sorry for the desert, dry, thirsty for the raindrops of an April Spring? I Don't! For I once was in a desert and experienced its Mystery! Deep beneath the grass of brown is the Hope of the color Green! Flowers sparse, you may truly say. But, with colors of Joy they bloom within the soil of Hidden Growth. Thirst for rain! The prayer each day! But when it comes, it comes God's way. Grace abundantly poured into hearts in Love with Him
