Fostering the Benedictine Charism
in Retreat Ministry

The Association of Benedictine Retreat Centers (ABRC) is an organization of approximately 40 member centers working together to foster the Benedictine charism in retreat ministry.

ABRC serves as a collaborative network for directors and staff of large conference centers and small spirituality centers alike. Among other key activities, ABRC hosts a Biennial Conference and sponsors a web site connecting guests to each of the member centers.
