Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery

About this church

Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery in Phoenix, Arizona, is a Benedictine community of Catholic sisters at 8502 West Pinchot Avenue that welcomes the public to prayer. Mass is celebrated on Sunday mornings at 10:15 a.m., and the schedule page also lists Friday evening Mass and Evening Prayer, so confirm those times on the website. Centering Prayer meets at the Scholastica House on the grounds on Tuesday mornings at 10 a.m. and Thursday evenings at 6:00 p.m., with the Thursday session also on Zoom. The monastery was established in 1998 at the request of the local bishop.

The community describes its life as shaped by prayer, hospitality, and the Rule of St. Benedict. Lay Oblates take part in many areas, including Sunday liturgies as ushers and Eucharistic ministers, a thrift store, a garden, and retreat support, and monthly Oblate formation meetings are held on second Saturdays at Scholastica House. Silent five-day retreats are offered each spring and fall, along with personal and guided retreats and spiritual direction. A Healing Center and garden across the cul-de-sac offers programs for mind, body, and spirit. Weekly bulletins and a calendar are posted online, and the monastery accepts gifts through the website.
