Mepkin Abbey Store is a place where the public encounters the monastic tradition. We are pleased to feature the artistic work of local, national and international monastics and artisans. Their work is a share in God’s creation which we believe is a privileged way to touch God’s truth and beauty. This belief governs our choice of books, religious art, and handcrafted items. Plan to visit our store in person soon.
