Georgia monastery strives to be self-sufficient
A half moon looms overhead the cross of the Abbey church at the Monastery. An increased number of visitors is projected to grow as a visitors center will soon be the Terminus for the Arabia Mountain Heritage Area trail. Today, thousands of Catholics and non Catholics trek to the 2,300-acre monastery in search of a place for quiet reflection and prayer, and there's hope that in the future even more will come.
