Mission/Lineage: Bethany Spring was started by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in 1977 to provide a place for women to stay when visiting the Abbey of Gethsemani.
It was sold to the Merton Institute in 2007 to promote Thomas Merton's teachings; they ran it as a retreat center until 2012 when the Institute dissolved. The property went to Gethsemani; & they ran it as a retreat center for a year & sold it absolute auction in November 2014. It is still a retreat center for those seeking God and inner truth.
