Mount Angel Abbey, located 40 miles south of Portland, Oregon, is a community of Benedictine monks founded in 1882 from the Abbey of
Engelberg in Switzerland.  e monks maintain a 1,500-year-old tradition that prefers “nothing whatever to Christ” as they strive to support
one another in community; and
to serve God, the Church, and the larger society. Hospitality is part of that service, and, in obedience to
the words of Father Saint Benedict himself, the community at Mount Angel invites men and women of all faiths to spend time in prayer and re ection in the peaceful atmosphere of Benedictine monastic life – and
in the unique natural environment of a quiet hilltop in the midst of
the beautiful Willamette Valley.
