The Benedictine Abbey of St Michael was founded for the monks to live a traditional life of prayer, work
and study in accordance with the ancient Rule of Saint Benedict. Although the monastic life is
comparable to the work of the angels in offering the sacrificium laudis (the sacrifice of praise),
the monks must still deal with the demands of the world which include clothing and feeding themselves.
The shop therefore provides a vital source of income to support the monks in their primary purpose of
worshipping God. Renowned as an excellent Catholic bookshop, the Abbey Shop also sells interesting
statuary, monastic produce, handmade rosaries and other desirables.
