St. Leo Abbey

[sparker1]

I recently traveled to St. Leo, Florida to visit the Benedictine Monastery, St. Leo Abbey. The monastery is celebrating its 120th year, and has spruced up its church and grounds for the occasion. It is truly a place of peace and serenity, exactly the kind of retreat the founders envisioned.
