St. Gregory's Abbey, Three Rivers

St. Gregory's Abbey is an American monastic community of men living under the Rule of St. Benedict within the Episcopal Church.

Trevor Bacon joined a group of American Episcopalians who went to England to be trained by the Anglican Benedictines of Nashdom Abbey in Buckinghamshire.

Canon Vivian A. Peterson, rector of St. James Anglican Catholic Church in Cleveland, Ohio, raised funds to sponsor their studies.

[1] The monks initially gained their living by taking charge of three mission churches in Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana under Bishop Campbell Gray.

In 1946, the Abbot of Nashdom House advised them that as the community was relatively new, the monks needed to leave parish ministry to focus more on the monastic life.
