Amazing refuge in a beautiful location. The Abbey is worth a visit. Also, the monetary is a working farm. The shop has wonderful food products made by the monks, including cheese, jam, sweets, etc. The food products make great gifts for friends and souvenirs of your trip.
The Abbey is incredible. The first view of the Abbey takes your breath away. Be sure to check out the store and purchase some of the Abbey's fine cheeses.
This is a great place to go in the fall to pick apples in the orchard, and take in the fantastic view.You must buy the apple sauce they sell. it's great, no preservatives all natural.
A friend suggested this stop. It was a wonderful setting and the shop was nice. Seemed a little bit like something from another world. Very nice visit.
The Abbey was definitely the highlight of our trip to Magog and Sherbrooke. The grounds and the Abbey itself were beautiful. We were lucky enough to attend Prime, sung beautifully by the monks. We were transported to a spiritual place. Their gift shop is filled with cheeses, honey, and religious items. The honey was fabulous. Don't miss the Abbey if you are up that way.
You step into a world of peace and tranquility here. Gorgeous grounds and buildings. A sense of calm pervades. Local monk made cheeses, wines, syrups, and other products available to enjoy in the shade of the Abbey listening to the bells and chants. Its nice to know people and places like this exist.
Go to the mass and listing the choir and the music. The place is beautifull and so peacefull. Nice place for a picnic with a store on place and around to buy food.
A small room with view on the countryside, no mandatory participation to any religious activities, no scheduled meeting with a monk, freedom to go at the library, the church, walking outside, freedom to meet a monk if you desire. Time spent at SAINT BENEDICT ABBEY is Time for Yourself and nobody else! Sober for over 30 years ( alcool and pills ), I' m still going, when beeing in the area, to Saint Benedict Abbey for few minutes or hours.I wish my humble story will help somebody else to admit what I discovered there over 30 years ago: I needed help! Note: I am not a member of any religion and still enjoy every moment spent at Saint Benedict Abbey, like few days ago, with my spouse or alone.
The Abbey was an interesting place to visit. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. You can read about the history of the Abbey and the Monks. There is a store on site that sells religious objects as well as cheeses, jams, vinegars and apple sauces made by the Monks.
Saint Benedict Abbey is a wonderful place and a quiet place.The cheese sold at this store is so good.Inside the Abbey, it's a nice place to take great pictures. Please don't use your flash to not disturb people.If you are a traveler in Eastern Townships, you must go there.
