SITUATED half-way between the monastery and the Youth Center, the new Arts and Crafts Center now houses Valyermo Ceramics and the other craft industries of the monks. 

THE first building you will now encounter on entering the Abbey grounds is the new Book Store/Gift Shop/Welcome Center.  The contents of the former Art Shop have all been moved, and the new store is open for business!

THE Youth Center Chapel in presently under construction; it should be completed by May, 2008.
