Hospitality

Visitors are always welcome to drop in to the abbey for a quiet moment of prayer or to attend one or another of the hours of the Divine Office celebrated throughout the day. We open the abbey church to visitors at 4:30 a.m. each day. The church remains open until 8:00 p.m.

The same hours apply to the Gift Shop. In the Gift Shop you will find unique gift items and greeting cards, a selection of fine books, and a variety of monastic products including Trappistine Creamy Caramels from Mississippi Abbey. You will also find samples of the caskets that we manufacture at Trappist Caskets.

Trappist Caskets’ showroom and shop are located just west of the Abbey. In the showroom you will find all of our casket models on display and information on how we make caskets. There is also a panorama display of the history of the Abbey. Trappist Caskets is open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CT.  From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Friday’s hours are 8:00 A.M. to 11:30 A.M. CT.  Additional information is available here or by calling (888) 433-6934.
