Holy Trinity Monastery - St David, Arizona

Absolutely amazing!! This is one of the coolest places I have found in 25 years in Arizona.

We were driving from Phoenix to Bisbee and saw a giant cross off the highway and did a u-turn to find out what it was. And what an amazing decision that was. Curiosity turned in to a 2 hour adventure exploring.

From watching the Priest do communion, to exploring the grounds and buildings, the cemetery, the stations of the cross and the peacocks every second was a visual and mental experience we will never forget. To be clear, we are not Catholics so that’s not influencing this review. It is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and provides peace and serenity that are hard to find in this world. I will be back to explore more. I honestly wish I could live in and live there.

May Gob bless all of you and thank you for opening this amazing place to the public. I hope they don’t bring the sickness of the world to your place of heaven on earth.

I’ll never forget my time walking around and exploring. Everything about this place is amazing. You must check it out if you drive by.

This was a terrific overnight stay. The lodgings we were given had everything you could ask for. Staff was kind and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and much to see. We walked to visit all the interesting spots including the bird sanctuary, church, ponds, and library. It’s an area that offers much more to see so we will have to make another visit. Tombstone is only 15 minutes away and Kartchner caves are close too. The area has much to offer but the peaceful surroundings of the monastery are plenty to enjoy and explore.

Beautiful place for camping and the peacocks and turkeys roaming make it a unique experience.

I stayed at the Holy Trinity Monastery as apart of an AA retreat. Even if you're not a holy person, you really get a warm, spiritual feeling when you're here. There's walking trails around the property which gives you access to the river. It also has 2 ponds (although 1 was dried up) for bird watching and feeding the very friendly ducks. There's also an abundance of Peacocks, and they walk around like they own the place! Great place to meditate and reconnect with yourself. The staff is very friendly and I recommend talking to Patti in the gift shop, she's a sweet ❤

This is one of my favorite places to visit. It is so peaceful here, and you feel God's presence everywhere! There is a beautiful pond with lots of ducks that will come right up to you, very friendly I might add! Also there is large koa in the pond. A trail you can walk as well and there's a campground on the property if you decide you want to stay! My father camped here and loved it!

Spent a weekend here for a small gathering/retreat with friends. We stayed in the Cloister. Rooms were simple and clean. We had a shared kitchen, living room, and dining/meeting area. It was the perfect space for our needs. The property is gorgeous — walking trails, lakes, peacocks, wild turkeys, and ducks. The food was amazing. And the property managers Jay and Kelle were always available to help when we needed something. Everyone on the property including the volunteers and guests were great! Definitely coming back.

This was the perfect place for us to stay over the weekend. Staff is so friendly, accommodating and helpful and the facilities beautiful and clean. The room in the Cloister was very comfortable, it’s big enough that you don’t trip over stuff or crash into each other. Everything functions well and the kitchen has basically everything you need and a big dining table for a group. Gates closes at 6. You can go out but not in, so, after 6 pm there are no more sounds, probably the quietest place I have stayed at. LOVED IT! You sleep like a baby! The gardens are well taken care of and the birds are amazing! The trails on the property are safe, quiet and beautiful. Thank you HTM for this different and beautiful experience. We will be back!

I have been going here since 1975. It holds a lot of memories for me. My mom lived a good portion of her life here and took the library from one small bookcase to a large one. I have watched it go through many seasons, as much as I wish it was still the same as all those years ago and all the people who had such an impact on my life were still there changed I always find peace and the environment to easily connect to God.
