There have been many changes to the garden during the past 3 years since the last Cistercian Monk departed. The statues have been cleaned, the grounds have received a make-over, lights and music have been added and there is a beautiful Sacred Heart Viewing area. People can drive up, pull off the road to reflect and enjoy the beautiful statue and the backdrop. Please visit and see for yourself this peaceful oasis right here in Mt. Laurel
There are plans to add the luminous mysteries to the garden during 2022. Please consider helping The Friends of the Cistercian Monastery to continue their work to expand the Prayer Garden to maintain it so that everyone can visit this special place to walk, sit, pray and thoughtfully enjoy its beauty and serenity.
