WHAT IS MEPKIN ABBEY?
An abbey is a type of monastery that provides a complex of buildings and land for religious activities, work, and housing of Christian monks. Mepkin is home to a community of cloistered monks who are part of the world-wide Trappist religious order.
Mepkin is one of only 15 Cistercian Trappist monasteries in North America and the only one in South Carolina.
While Trappists are an order in the Roman Catholic Church, everyone is welcome to visit and make Retreats here. People of all faiths as well as no faith, men and women, old and young … ALL ARE WELCOMED here!
