Holy Trinity Monastery is a semi-contemplative monastery. In keeping with the tradition of monastic hospitality, guest house facilities are offered for monastic retreats. All retreatants, coming either singly or in a group, are expected to participate in the monastic exercises of silence, solitude, simple living, community and personal prayer.

Guest quarters provide a place for prayer and reading.  There is capacity for 45 people in single and double rooms.  Hosted are private retreats, group conferences, group tours, day of reflection and spiritual counseling.  The lounge in Benedict Hall, Fr. Louis Hall (a large hall that will hold up to 150 people) and the gazebos in the plaza are used for sharing and conferences. 

An organized schedule is followed for prayers, reading and meals in common.
