Mepkin Abbey Reception Center/Gift Shop 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.
Mepkin Abbey Books Available:
“The evil of avarice must have no part in establishing prices, which should, therefore, always be a little lower than people outside the monastery are able to set,” so that in all things God may be glorified. ”
