Perhaps Mission's most famous landmark, this beautiful monastery attracts thousands of visitors annually. The Benedictine monks who inhabit the Abbey have created a self-sufficient pastoral lifestyle at this inspiring location, and welcome visitors to their grounds and for services.
Westminster Abbey is on a 180 metre elevation above the Fraser River, a 200-acre site that includes the abbey grounds, farm and seminary campus. Its most distinctive feature is the abbey church and its tower with a ring of 10 bells. These may be heard Sunday mornings 15 minutes before the 10:00 am Mass.
The views from the Abbey seem to stretch forever, providing a panoramic view of the Fraser Valley. Visitors are welcome at the chapel on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and on weekdays from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
