Saint Louis Abbey is a Catholic abbey of the English Benedictine Congregation (EBC) in Creve Coeur, St. Louis County, Missouri. It is located within the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The monks of the abbey live according to the Benedictine discipline of 'prayer and work', praying the Divine Office five times daily, celebrating daily Masses in English and Latin, and working in two parishes under their pastoral care and in the Saint Louis Priory School, which the abbey administers. The abbey and school sit on a 150-acre (0.61 km2) campus.
