New Rosary Garden at Mepkin

For almost 5 years now, some of us monks here at Mepkin have been contemplating on creating a Rosary Garden to honor and promote devotion to our Blessed Virgin Mary.  Now the time has come.  And we joyfully invite you. On our Lady’s Saturday, 15 August, join us in celebrating the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Patronal Feast of the whole Cistercian Order, for the Blessing and Inauguration of the new Mepkin Rosary Garden.

Come and celebrate with us! “Our great Queen has gone before us and has been so gloriously received that we, her servants, may walk with confidence after Our Lady.” 
– St Bernard of Clairvaux,
