Did you know that Cañon City is Colorado wine country? The former Holy Cross Abbey transitioned into a full time winery a few years ago. I've yet to enjoy the fruits of their vines, but one of these days I'm planning on venturing back there for a tasting.
Here's a photo of the beautiful Abbey monastery, built around 1886. As far as I know, it no longer functions as a full-time abbey and school. I think it's a truly gorgeous building and property, and am grateful that it's found a second life as a thriving vineyard.

I'm glad too. Better than being abandoned or demolished. It's a gorgeous building!
What a heavenly church building! Do they give "communion" there?!
I am glad as well. This beautiful building deserves a second life!
Beautiful and great shot !!
