Here is the church outside:
Here is the inside:
The floors and ceiling were beautifully done wood.
The altar:
Wonderful shaft of sunlight coming in.
These are the stained glass windows on the sides of the sanctuary:
The wonderful stained glass section is at the back of the church, near the entrance:
This is the statue to St. Bridget (I think she is called St. Brigitta of Sweden), whom the church is named for. Currently there are just seven monks living here. This is the only Brigittine Monastery in the United States. They make very good fudge and truffles here..!
Behind the monastery are two large ponds. One nicely covered in lily pads. We saw about 15 different species of birds today. We hope to come back in the fall, when hopefully many birds have come to the waters.
Love those lily pads! A nice visit on a nice summer day.
