 Monastery of Christ in the Desert: Abiquiu, New Mexico
The Monastery of Christ in the Desert, Abiquiu, New Mexico, U.S.A., was founded in 1964 by Fr. Aelred Wall, OSB, with monks from Mount Saviour Monastery in New York state. It is a Benedictine community, and comprises men from several nations, though English is the language of the house. The monks maintain a guesthouse for private retreats where men and women can share the Divine Office and Mass in the Abbey Church with the monks. They engage in craft, maintenance and computer work at the monastery, and also run a gift shop, which includes a mail-order department of books and other religious items.
The Monastery is situated in a beautiful canyon in northwestern New Mexico, surrounded by miles of government-protected wilderness, thus assuring and promoting solitude and quiet for the cenobitic life. The chief architect of the original monastery was George Nakashima, the Japanese-American woodworker and architect. The monks are intent on being good stewards of the land, and make the best use of resources by conserving them, and by employing sustainable and renewable systems in building and energy production and use.
