Monk's Cell Bookshop

Welcome to the Monk's Cell! Our shop is located at Holy Cross Monastery, overlooking the beautiful Hudson River in West Park, New York. Here the monks and guests of the monastery seek to live a balanced life in the Benedictine tradition of prayer, work, and study.  

 

We offer a thoughtfully curated selection of religious and spiritual books, with a special focus on Benedictine monasticism and Episcopal/Anglican, Celtic, and Christian wisdom literature.
