Former pastor wants to open
monastery on North Coast
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — Mitch
Mayhue is hoping for a hand
opening a Christian monas-
tery on the North Coast.
Mayhue, a former pas-
tor, member of the Salva-
tion Army and disabled vet-
eran who lives in Seaside,
is part of the St. Bernard
Monastery, a new ecumen-
ical Christian ministry. The
monastery would include a
temple, seminary and other
services in a private setting.
“We want to open up a
shelter for Christian vet-
erans,” Mayhue said, add-
ing the center would go off
referrals.
The ministry hopes to
open monasteries all around
the world, Mayhue said.
But with his mobility ham-
pered by disabilities, May-
hue said he is hoping to
start the group’s first loca-
tion close to his home. The
group is looking for finan-
cial support and land.
“I don’t care if it’s a hole
in the ground or a barn,”
Mayhue said. “We just need
a good start.”
Mayhue said those inter-
ested should visit the Mon-
astery of St. Bernard Face-
book page.
