Newark Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Newark, United States
Newark Abbey contains a church, refectory with a Last Supper painting, chapter room, hospitality center, monastic library, and private chapel for prayers.
The monastery began in 1857 when monks from Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania established a religious community to serve German Catholic immigrants.
The seventeen monks gather five times daily for communal prayer while managing Saint Benedict's Preparatory School and Saint Mary's Church for the local population.
The monastery maintains multiple facilities including an infirmary for elderly monks, a tailor shop for habit repairs, and dedicated spaces for novices' education.
Newark Abbey stands as one of the few remaining urban Catholic monasteries in the United States, continuing its religious traditions amid the city environment.
