The City Monastery San Damiano is a lively monastery inhabited by a small community of Franciscan Friars Minor. They live following spirituality of Francis of Assisi: simple, peaceful and connected to people and nature. At the monastery, the door is literally and figuratively open - to peace seekers, believers, seekers, pilgrims, artists and students. What makes the monastery special is how it links the old and the new: centuries-old traditions go hand in hand with modern forms of spirituality and meaning here.
A visit to San Damiano is not a standard monastic experience. You don't have to be a member of the church to feel welcome. Everyone is free to walk in, light a candle, take part in a meditative moment or just sit in the quiet of the chapel or monastery garden.
San Damiano wants to be more than a house of worship. It is a place of encounter. Young people struggling with life questions, local residents in need of a listening ear, tourists who drop in unexpectedly - all find something here that goes beyond words: a feeling of peace, connection and openness. The monastery is also regularly involved in social initiatives in Den Bosch. This creates a dynamic where monastery and city reinforce each other.
City Monastery San Damiano is a place that touches, precisely because of its simplicity. Whether you come for a moment of reflection, a good conversation or just to stop for a moment: here you will find space to breathe - in the city and in yourself.
