Abbey Basilica

Church_of_peace

The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception is the heartbeat of Conception Abbey.  Here, the monks gather six times a day to praise God through the Divine Office and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. This schedule of prayer punctuates a monk's day, keeping him mindful of the Heavenly Kingdom so that "in all things, God may be glorified."
