Mount Angel Abbey & Seminary

About this church

Mount Angel Abbey & Seminary sits on a hilltop at Saint Benedict, Oregon, near the town of Mount Angel. It is a Catholic Benedictine monastery whose monks follow the Rule of Saint Benedict and gather in the Romanesque Abbey church for Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours six times a day. On regular weekdays Mass is at 8 a.m.; on Sundays Mass is at 9 a.m., with Vespers at 5:20 p.m. and Compline in the evening. Guests are invited to join the monks in prayer, and books are provided in the vestibule. Prayer begins about five minutes after the abbey bells ring, and the services are also livestreamed. Confession is offered before Mass, and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is available on most Fridays.

The Hilltop also houses Mount Angel Seminary, a library, a guesthouse and retreat center, a bookstore and coffeehouse, and a brewery run by the monks. Visitors can walk the grounds, tour the church, enjoy the art, architecture and silence, and request prayers or Masses through the website. Parking is at the top of the wooded drive, and an elevator connected to the guesthouse reaches the mall level. Hours and prayer times vary on feast days and special occasions, so confirm the current schedule on the abbey website before visiting.
