Franciscan Monastery — Attraction in Kennebunk

A very enjoyable walk on the paved path. I did explore a few of the paths through the woods. You can find places to sit and relax, even in front of the bee 🐝 colony. The paved path is half a loop and takes you past statues that I found interesting to look at. After reading the book 📖, "Monuments Men", I have become more interested in sculptures and statues. The points of the cross monument were fascinating to view and study. There is an outdoor area for conducting mass. There is so much to see 🙈. They even have a gift shop. There is a short dirt path that leads to the marina. The place felt peaceful. The area where they conduct indoor mass is interesting.

Absolutely beautiful experience stoping by the monastery. This was our last stop in kennebunkport and also didn’t stop by. Honestly the most memorable part of the town for us. The walk around was beautiful, peaceful, and adventurous every turn you’d find amazing views or beautiful gardens.

We got a few gifts for my brother who recently converted and the prices for the religious pieces can not be beat. 1000% recommend stoping here if you can. You will...
