Benedictine Monastery, Mission, BC


When our directors' meeting was over, Sylvain drove Alex to Langley and me to White Rock. On the way we stopped at Westminster Abbey, the Benedictine Monastery in Mission.


Gardens of the abbey.

"In order for man to be fully aware of what he is choosing, he must also be fully aware of what he is renouncing."


The abbey and monastery were built between 1951 and 1982. In the abbey the water fountain contained a piece of stone from the Benedictine Monastery at Monte Cassino.
