Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey, located in Yamhill County, Oregon, was established in 1948 in Pecos, New Mexico, by Trappist monks from Rhode Island. In 1955, the monks moved to Oregon, where the abbey now occupies 1,300 acres of forest in the Willamette Valley. The forest enhances the spiritual setting, and the monks, who live communally, balance their days with prayer, work, and contemplation. The trail on the property leads to a shrine, a space for worship and meditation, and visitors are welcome to explore respectfully.
