The mission of the Mount Angel Institute is to share the rich ways of Mount Angel Abbey’s Benedictine monastic life with Church and World. In this podcast, we share talks from monks, faculty, and guest speakers at Mount Angel that generally focus on the rich ways of prayer, community life, deep reading or lectio divina, life centered on the Eucharist, Benedictine hospitality, arts and culture, and caring for the land and environment.
Mount Angel Abbey (Saint Benedict, Oregon) is a community of Benedictine monks founded in 1882 from the Abbey of Engelberg in Switzerland. Today, the community continues to serve the spiritual needs of western Oregon and beyond through the parish church of St. Mary’s, a seminary (founded in 1889), a guesthouse, and other works that welcome all visitors and guests in the spirit of Benedictine hospitality.
