Join the MovementSince its dedication in 2021, the new St. Michael’s Abbey has flourished into a wellspring of God’s grace. Today, it stands as a sanctuary of peace, a beacon of timeless beauty, and a distinguished center for the enrichment of Catholic culture.
Here, souls encounter the sacraments and draw strength from the enduring rhythm of liturgical prayer upheld by monasteries for centuries.
The priesthood is central to our work. It is the very conduit through which Christ's grace extends to His faithful. Holy priests nurture the Church and minister to the world.
