Nestled in the Northern Range, away from the hustle and bustle of the valley below is this beautiful church. I visited this church many times due to it peaceful atmosphere, beautiful view from the Mount, as well as to eat the famous PAX yogurt that the monks make. There is also a gift shop where you can buy candles, holy water, and rosary beads. The atmosphere in the church is one of silent pray and there is a statue of the Mother Mary and St. Benedict. I sit and soak in the silence and soothing vibrations of this place that seems to calm the soul and brings one peace. Some years ago I did stay at the retreat centre which is a good place for contemplation and silence. Lower down the road at the guest house you can have tea which normally starts at 4pm in the evening. There are a variety of teas to choose from as well as homemade bread and cake. A real treat.
