Saint Anselm's Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Northeast Washington, United States.
The monastery extends across 40 acres of woodland terrain, creating a natural buffer from urban surroundings at South Dakota Avenue.
Father Thomas Verner Moore established Saint Anselm's Priory in 1923 with support from Fort Augustus Abbey in Scotland.
The monks maintain a daily schedule of prayers, work, and educational activities, following the centuries-old Rule of Saint Benedict.
Visitors can attend daily liturgical services at the abbey, which offers both in-person attendance and online streaming options.
The monastery includes ten resident monks who combine traditional monastic practices with teaching responsibilities at the adjacent school.
