The art in a church is much like the art in our homes: it tells a unique, personal story and helps us feel an affection for the space around us.
The art in a church is much like the art in our homes: it tells a unique, personal story and helps us feel an affection for the space around us. In this video, Fr. Hugh and Fr. Ambrose look at the newly-completed St. John the Baptist Chapel and reflect on the small details that make it such a treasured place in the abbey church.
The Abbot's Circle is a first-of-its-kind virtual monastery—an evolving, curated library that offers an inside look at the artistic, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual work that the Norbertines of St. Michael’s Abbey carry out each day for the praise and honor of God.
Hidden in the stillness of southern California’s desert mountains, St. Michael’s Abbey goes about a timeless and supernatural mission: the common worship of God. This is a place for all to encounter the unfathomable beauty of God and to enter into the mystery of His unrelenting love.
Against a culture in ever desperate need for beauty, St. Michael’s Abbey stands as a refuge for reverent liturgy, inspiring art, and captivating sacred music and chant. Through our work, we are laying the foundation for the sanctification of our society and a renewal in our Church.
