Saint Leo Abbey and Benedictine Monks, St Leo FL

This is a beautiful college.my daughter went there. She also worked in the library for awhile. Beautiful campus.a good feel when you are there

Incredible place full of PEACE. Where you can feel it, breath it, and it gets deep into your soul. If you're looking for a place to be relaxed and feel the presence of Jesus in your heart. Visit Saint Leo Abbey.

I have grown a beloved attachment to this abbey. Everyone is helpful and the space and priests leave you feeling spiritually refreshed.

The grotto. If you wanna know.then take the stairs across the street that go into the woods. That's all I'm gonna say.

Nothing like hearing Benedictine monks chant! It’s a beautiful church as well…

We visited the abbey for the self guided tour on a Friday afternoon. Beautiful grounds and abbey. The grottos were so tranquil and relaxing. I could have easily spent a few hours just relaxing and meditating at the grottos. We also visited the gift shop. It was underwhelming for us. Maybe we had our expectations up too high. I was expecting more items and items made by the monks (they did have soap made by the monks but nothing more that we saw). We also came back to the abbey on Sunday for the solemn mass. I expected too much once again. I was hoping that I would hear Gregorian chants on either Friday or Sunday. Neither happened. I was very disappointed. The monks also were not what I expected. Nice men of god but not as expected. Overall if I am in the area again I would visit for mass and I hope they bring those Gregorian chants back in full force.

Great Mass very majestic and holy place was welcomed and felt at peace in this very holy setting. Mom and I had a great and wonderful time and the gift shop was also a great experience. Homecoming weekend would not be completed without this evolution for sure
