Give your spiritual life a lift
I was able to grow deeper in my faith and fall in love with God all over again. I was challenged by my peers, professors, and the monks to take advantage of every opportunity that I had at the Abbey, including daily mass, confession, and a beautiful adoration chapel outside my door.
