Located on 400 acres of lush farmland southeast of Cullman, the medieval-style monastery and the Shrine itself are a wonder one could hardly expect to experience outside of Old World Europe, much less to find in the rural southeastern United States.

Home to the Poor Clare Nuns of Perpetual Adoration, a cloistered Franciscan Order, the monastery was built by Mother Angelica, founder of the Eternal Word Television Network.

The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, located in the monastery's Upper Church, is described by the Order as "a Temple consecrated to Almighty God, open to people of all faiths."

The medieval 13th century-style architecture of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery along with the awe-inspiring Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament would seem to be more at home in Old World Europe than in the farmland of rural Alabama.

The Monastery and Shrine church along with the nearby Castel San Miguel visitors center. The monastery's public area has a reception desk, where an attendant is available to answer visitor's questions. Much of the monastery itself remains hidden .

Hanceville – Ephesus House – The friars who serve the spiritual and sacramental needs of the Poor Clare Nuns and faithful of the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama reside in the Ephesus House. This title reminds the friars of Jesus’ intimate entrustment of Mary his mother to the apostle John. Offering Mass and Reconciliation, spiritual talks and devotions are regular works for the friars who reside there.
