“Come to me, all of you who are weary and over-burdened, and I will give you rest! Put on my yoke and learn from me. For I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls.

- Matthew 11:28-29

Vision Statement

The Abbey on Lovers Lane is a spiritual oasis

in the midst of a big city and busy lives

helping people slow down

to catch up

to God’s speed.

It all began with an idea for an urban retreat house, a place to provide hallowed space for Quiet and Reflection. A place for people to be still, pray, listen, learn, and receive spiritual guidance. Rooted in the contemplative tradition, we resonate with Richard Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline, when he wrote, “The desperate need for today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.” The Abbey is a place for people to grow deeper in their spiritual lives.
