Westminster Abbey, Catholic seminary and abbey in Mission, Canada
Westminster Abbey rises on a hill in Mission, British Columbia, with architecture designed by Norwegian Asbjørn Gåthe, including a church and seminary buildings.
The Benedictine monastery evolved from its establishment in 1939 by Mount Angel Abbey monks to achieve full abbey status in 1953 under Prior Eugene.
The Seminary of Christ the King at Westminster Abbey maintains its position as the sole English-speaking high school seminary in Canada under Benedictine direction.
The monastery farm spans 70 hectares, raising cattle and chickens to supply meat for the resident community of 30 Benedictine monks.
Father Dunstan Massey created numerous frescoes and concrete bas-reliefs within the church, contributing to the artistic heritage of the abbey.
