With the urging of Dom Edmund Futterer, Abbot of Our Lady of the Valley, nuns from St. Mary's Abbey in Glencairn, Ireland accompanied by six American novices who had made their novitiate there, left the homeland in 1949 to make the first United States foundation of Trappistines. It is located in southern Massachusetts near the 300-year-old town of Wrentham.
Guest House:
We are happy to offer hospitiality to those who wish to come to share the Monastic atmosphere of Mount Saint Mary's Abbey and environment. We provide two retreat houses for private retreats for individuals or groups. Retreatants may attend any of the Abbey liturgy including the daily Eucharistic Celebration, and are welcome to pray quietly in our Abbey Church at any time between 3 am and 7:30 pm.
