More from St. Benedict's Abbey (Tour of Sacristy and Chapels)


Here are some more photos from the Abbey:
Prayer "before Mass" in the Sacristy. It reads, "Give virtue to my hands, O Lord, that being cleansed from all stain I might serve you with purity of mind and body."
Father Abbot's miter.
You'll never guess what happened to this monstrance. It was mauled by a she-bear on a remote slope in Colorado.
St. Benedict's church, the original church of the monastery before the new one was built. Has a beautiful high altar with baldacchino and perpetual adoration.
Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the crypt of the Abbey church. There are about a dozen or more side altars for the days when each priest celebrated low Mass, before concelebration was permitted.
Gold stoles from the abbot's pontifical vestment sets.
St. Scholastica chapel. Still has the altar cards from the old days. Strange but pretty stained glass.
