The Abbey Gatehouse Store is open Tuesday-Saturday 10 am – 4 pm.
All visitors to the store and the church are required to wear a mask while inside the building, to help protect the health of the elderly monks.
We welcome visitors to join the community for liturgical prayer in the Abbey Church or to spend time in quiet solitary prayer. A porter is available throughout the day to provide assistance and answer questions. The Church and reception room are open from 3:15 AM until 8:00 PM. For the times for Mass and Liturgy of the Hours throughout the day see our Liturgical Schedule page.
The reception room provides a quiet place to rest and reflect for a time. The grounds in front of the abbey provide a quiet and peaceful setting for quiet walking and sitting.
