Abbey of Regina Laudis

Abbey is closed due to Covid and current construction. I spoke with one of the Sisters who was extremely pleasant and helpful.

Regarding “workin mama” review .Perhaps you didn’t adhere to suggested modes of conduct and dress. To be told you would be more welcome in other areas, seems to indicate you wondered off multiple times. As always there are 3 sides to every story. I’ve only experienced welcome reverent visits . Many blessings ✝ufe0f

We were interrogated and told to leave by 3 different nuns in a total of 5 minutes. Each time they told us to go to a different part of the grounds where we’d be “more welcome” and each time we were greeted with the same stand off attitude “this is not a good time...visitation is not encouraged...etc. We were in spaces open to the public each time except for one time because the directions we were given were confusing and the ‘private’ sign was partially obscured by trees and we didn’t see it. Not to mention we were literally 20 feet from the public space we were intending to find. The nun we encountered there was downright rude, patronizing and nasty despite our apologies and explaining we did not see any sign. Which we found on the way out because we were intently searching for it after our verbal lashing.nnThis is not a welcoming place that encourages visitors as is portrayed on their website, which is the only reason we even went. I’ve never been to a convent before so I did not know what to expect. Maybe this behavior is typical. Maybe all nuns are religious hermits who want to keep everyone away and live in their own little members only cult. Like I said I was curious and wanted to learn. The website made it seem as though visitation was encouraged here and people were welcome...which they are definitely not.nnThis is not open to the public, they do not want visitors, this is all private property even the places not marked as such. This place is for the resident nuns only. Which is fine but that is not made AT ALL clear because if the conflicting information on the website. Expect an interrogation and cold reception everywhere, even in the “church”.

Outstanding. They took care of everything. Nice and clean. The statues haven't looked so nice in a few years. It's a lot of work. Never ending.

Wonderful place to get away from it all. The nuns stick to their purpose: to provide a safe haven and quiet retreat. I love the fact that in a world driven by ever-greater profits, possibilities, and potential there exists a group of people willing to go their own (quiet) way. Stunning.
