Mount Saint Benedict
Mount Saint Benedict, Benedictine monastery in Saint Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
The Abbey of Our Lady of Exile stands at six hundred and sixty feet above sea level in the northern mountain range of Trinidad.
Brazilian Benedictine monks established this sanctuary in 1912 after purchasing 240 acres of land with the help of Andrew Gomez.
The monastery follows the Rule of Saint Benedict, centered on the principle of Ora et Labora, which guides the daily activities of prayer and work.
Visitors can stay at Pax Guest House, participate in guided tours, observe birds, and purchase locally made yogurt at the abbey shop.
The monastery produces PAX Yogurt, which started as a dietary requirement for the monks and developed into a commercial product sold across Trinidad.
