About Our Lady of Guadalupe Benedictine Monastery in Silver City, New Mexico:
Founded in 1991 in the southern Rocky Mountains that overlook Silver City, New Mexico, Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery is the home of a young community of Benedictine monks. The secluded, mountainous site, the silence of the surrounding nature, the austere beauty of the high-desert terrain all join together to bespeak the particular vocation of this monastic foundation: the primacy of contemplation, a return to the spirit of the monks of Christian antiquity who, with the blessing of the Church, established a unique way of life lived for the honor and glory of God alone.
The Divine Office is chanted by the monks daily in the main chapel and is open to the public, as well as Daily Mass. Check the website below for times. No appointment is required to attend Mass or the Divine Office.
The Monastery has an excellent bookstore and gift shop…be sure to check it out (they ship products as well).
