Access to the Abbey Church
Beginning on Sunday August 16, 2020, the Abbey Church will open only to students, faculty, and staff during specific times. Due to ongoing concerns and in an effort to prevent unnecessary risk, we are unable to welcome off-campus visitors including family, friends, and alumni. We realize this is disappointing to many, but these precautions are a necessary step in order to keep our students, faculty, staff, and monks safe.
The Abbey Church is open during the following times for students, faculty, and staff only:
- Sunday – 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM & 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
- Monday – 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- Tuesday – 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- Wednesday – 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM
- Thursday – 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- Friday – 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- Saturday – 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
