Today, we drove about 40 miles to Subiaco, Arkansas to visit the Subiaco Abbey which consists of St. Benedict Church, Subiaco Academy and Coury House Retreat Center.
This Historic Landmark sits in the midst of the beautiful Western Arkansas mountains. The Monks of Subiaco Abbey are Benedictines tracing their history back to 5th century Italy. The sight from the foothills is very picturesque.
Subiaco Academy is a Catholic, college preparatory boarding and day school for young men in grades 7-12. Students from all parts of the world.
This is the Abbey Church of Saint Benedict. The Church was completed in 1959.
The Church remains open 24 hours but the light were turned off so the pictures are a little dark....
We walked around the inner court of Subiaco Abbey. It is so quiet and peaceful here.
The square complex contains the Monastery (living quarters of the monks), the academy, the main building and The Abbey Church of St Benedict.
A statue of Saint Benedict in the center of the courtyard. It is just all so beautiful.
A look at the Church from the inner court....
The athletic complex on the grounds includes a large pool, ball fields and tennis courts.
The patio and yard/gardens.
The cemetery on this hill.
The Logan County Courthouse.
This was another great outing. What a Blessed Day!

Connie and manuel,
Your picture of the abbey and church from far way is wonderful. I was wondering if I could use it as a source for the background of a painting I am working on for Subiaco to donate to their spring carnival. It will be heldon march 08 this year. 2014. Thanks. You all took some wonderful pictures of the place. We love it there. You can e-mail me at woford@gmail.com, or view my website and leave a comment. Www.giftthrutheveil.com. Again, thank you.
