This huge church--built in 1957--serves both the abbey and the adjacent Benedictine College. From the back, one gets an impression of the church's enormous size. At the front is a huge mosaic. The monks invite visitors to join them in their daily prayer in the upper church. Below is a large chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe that also merits a visit.

Love the wood floors made by hand. Wished we could have seen the spiral staircase but, since someone lives on the other side, I guess this was not possible Bummer!!

We visited Ness City in January 2019 on a pilgrimage across the water to walk in the footsteps of my ggg-aunt who emigrated to America from Pembrokeshire, Wales in the 1870s! Local Kansas cousins used their knowledge and recommended the Ness County Bank Building as a venue for our big get-together and it was the perfect choice! Such a beautiful and striking building with so much history of itself and in the snow of a January day, it welcomed 30+ distant cousins from across America and from Wales for a wonderful reunion! Plenty of space for us all and gave us the perfect base for our special day! Never to be forgotten - thank you Ness County Bank Building!

My husband and I attending the Jim Brickman concert here. The Opera House was old and charming! I loved it! The seats were comfortable, the concession stand had good popcorn, and though we didn't have any there was a small area serving alcoholic drinks. I would definitely see another program/concert/play here again.
