The Abbey of the Genesee

The Abbey of the Genesee is a Roman Catholic Community of Trappist Monks who support themselves by making and selling Monk’s Bread and other specialty baked goods in their on-site store.

The Abbey welcomes groups for a talk on monastic life and a short video tour of the monastery. (reservations needed)  Visitors will enjoy the grounds surrounding the abbey as a quiet and peaceful setting for quiet walking and sitting. They also have retreat houses for men or women wishing to make a quiet, monastic retreat.
