A 4-Day Experience
Step Into Silence – A Voluntary Live-In Opportunity
Are you seeking clarity in your spiritual journey?
Do you feel called to explore what it means to live a life wholly devoted to God?
The Cloistered Convent of Saint Ursula in Valletta offers a unique opportunity for women who are prayerfully discerning a cloistered vocation. Through our 4-Day Experience, you are invited to step away from the world and into the rhythm of monastic life, not as a visitor, but as a quiet guest sharing in our silence, prayer, and daily routine.
This voluntary live-in is not a retreat. It is a personal, immersive experience of the cloistered way of life. Over four days, you will:
- Join the community in prayer and spiritual reading
- Take part and assist the Prioress in simple household duties and moments of silent reflection
- Embrace stillness, silence, and listening to God, to your heart, and His possible call
- Be guided by a spiritual director or the Prioress to help you discern your path
- While the convent remains enclosed, a private space within the enclosure is offered for you to live, pray, and reflect in solitude and grace.
This experience is open to women aged 18 and over who are seriously considering religious life. There is no cost to participate, although places are limited, and discernment is essential before acceptance.
If you feel drawn to this experience, we invite you to contact us confidentially.
Sometimes, God’s voice becomes clearest when the world falls silent.
“Come and see.”
