our community

We are an abbey of Catholic priests

As canons regular, we follow the  Rule of St. Augustine, which combines the communal life of prayer with active ministry. Our mission involves daily participation in the Divine Office, celebrating the sacraments, teaching the faith, and providing pastoral care.
We extend a heartfelt invitation for you to join us in prayer. May the peace of Christ be with you, and may God’s blessings be upon you always.

Community Members

Under the leadership of our Abbot, Right Reverend Eugene Hayes, the priests of our canonry are dedicated to serving the faithful through a variety of ministries. For over 60 years, St. Michael's Abbey has been a beacon of faith and service, committed to the formation of young men for the priesthood, guiding them in their spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral development. We operate parishes, teach in schools, and provide chaplaincy services to colleges and communities of religious women. Additionally, some of our confreres contribute to the Church’s intellectual and cultural life by writing books and articles, while others extend their ministries through digital technology. Our abbey continues to be a sanctuary of peace and prayer, offering a spiritual refuge to all who seek solace and guidance.
