A beautiful setting that makes you feel like you've been transported into your own little world even though just seconds before you were in traffic among the rest of humanity ;) A sanctuary for meditation.

We attended the Prelude at the monastery and it really brought back the magic of christmas. The decorations and candle lit carolling is the true magic of christmas!

Beautiful grounds with a scenic trail to the river and spots to sit and meditate on the wonders of nature, along with a sacred quiet, make this a favorite place to visit

Our friends drove us back into St. Anthony's and I'm glad they did. Very beautiful setting and very quiet for walks and meditation if you wish. The outside chapel is very beautiful!

St.Anthony's is a wonderful place to stroll along the river, across from the hustle and bustle of Kennebunkport and its crowded shoppers! I have walked this area, along the edge of the water, plunked my buns down on the benches along the way, and found peace.Not only is it great in the summer, but all seasons.A photographer friend went with...

If you take the Trolley tour from town, it does a driveby through the parking area passing the main building and the grotto. If all you want is a quick look here and/or want to see alot of the Kennebunks in a short amount of time then take the Trolley tour. I would've enjoyed a walk around the monastery and... More
