About a week ago, the Cistercian monastery in my province announced that it was the end of the road.

Since moving back to Canada, I’ve been there a couple of times. So in honour of Our Lady of Mount Calvary Abbey and the monks who lived a contemplative life there for 122 years, here are some photos from my visits. Thank you for the silence and prayer. God bless you all.
