Tour of the Abbey of Our Lady of New Clairvaux, Monastery in Vina, Tehama County Saturday, October 27th at 9:45 a.m.
We have arranged an hour and half docent led tour of The Abbey of New Clairvaux to include the history of the Abbey land and Chapter House, a tour of the grounds, the famous winery, and all those interested will be able to attend the newly opened 800 year old Chapter House for the noon prayers (Sext followed by 10 minute Examen and Angelus).
The Chapter House is the oldest building in the U.S. west of the Rockies. There is a possibility we may be able to walk approximately 2 miles round trip to the Sacramento River which forms the Western border of the Monastery grounds. If we are granted permission to walk to the river, the duration on Abbey grounds would be extended approximately 1.5 hours depending upon weather and how long we choose to bask in the beauty of the environment: possible views of Mt Lassen, snow capped mountains to the west, feathered and furry wildlife, orchards and groves.
