St. Benedict

The Hermitage

Our vision is to provide a place of prayer in a naturally beautiful setting in the hills of Central Maine to house Transfiguration Hermitage, and eventually a retreat center, for those who seek a place of quiet prayer and reflection.

The Hermitage is a God-centered place of peace and solitude, where people of all faiths, can seek the healing presence of the Spirit.
