Directions to the Monastery
From Route 2 in Massachusetts, coming either east or west, take exit 17, which is marked “Athol Petersham”. At the foot of the exit, turn right. This is North Main St. (Route 32). The entrance to the monastery grounds is about 3 1/2 miles further on your right. Our sign (pictured on left) and front gate are between two signs - a 45 mph speed limit sign and a “Do Not Pass” sign.
The guesthouse is the first left on our driveway. To get to the entrance of St. Mary's Monastery, go past the guesthouse to the bottom of the drive and take a right onto a dirt road. The entrance is on your left. To get to the church and St. Scholastica Priory, don't turn but go straight. Hope to see you soon!
