Saint Benedict Festival

Beginning with Midday Prayer and ending with Solemn Pontifical Vespers, the Saint Benedict Festival is a unique opportunity to meet the monks and experience Mount Angel Abbey for first-time guests and longtime friends.
It is a special year for the Saint Benedict Festival, as this year’s festival falls on the actual feast day of our Holy Father Saint Benedict, July 11, the first time since 2020.
Come to the Hilltop early at 9 am for a Solemn Pontifical Mass for the Solemnity of Saint Benedict with Mount Angel’s monastic community.
