A welcome from the past

Father Robert (RIP) was the Abbot before Father Joseph.  Though you can now only physically visit him in the monks’ cemetery by the main house, we hope his message can still greet you and invite you to experience the Abbey of Our Lady of the Holy Cross, our Mission and our community. 

The monastery, more than anything, is a preparation for eternity, which we pray and hope Fr. Robert now enjoys or soon will!  We invite you to be one with us and renew us through prayer in unity with Fr. Robert, in Christ’s Mystical Body, whether here on earth, in purgatory, or in heaven; please pray for his eternal rest, and join us in confidence that the merciful and just Judge of all will hear Fr. Robert, in his calm voice, praying for us also–much as he spent the 60 years of his life, praying seven times a day in the monastery!
