Very interesting and beautiful church and grounds. Took the tour with a very knowledgeable docent who also was part of the community. They have about 25 brothers living on the grounds and a convent with about 60 nuns. The attention to detail in the building of the church is astounding.

One of my very favorite places in Orleans. Poised by the very breathtaking rock harbor beach.. this church is a work of art by itself. Ask for a tour! It’s amazing and free! Stop in the shop where a lot of the goods are made by the people living in the community there. They often hold functions and activities on the grounds as well. It’s a magnificent, uplifting place to visit, be and wander through! Don’t miss it! …

Their gift shop offers a variety of locally crafted goods and helps complete your experience.…

We stopped here for the vespers. A delightful community member showed us what we needed to observe and to participate. If you haven't experienced Gregorian Chants in person, then make sure this is on your list of things to see.
