Petersham 25th anniv logo.tifToday is the 25th anniversary of the founding of Saint Mary's Monastery, Petersham, MA. 

In 1987, Saint Mary's became a dependent house on Pluscarden Abbey, Scotland. Some might say that 3 men started the monastery in 1985, and they're right to a degree. But in 1987 it was aggregated to Pluscarden in a formal way and to the Subiaco Congregation.

Saint Mary's Monastery is a small colony of Benedictine monks whose central work is the praying of the traditional Divine Office (in Latin) with a small guest house welcomes visitors.

A delightful place to visit, pray and just spend time with the Lord.
