Mount Melleray closed its doors last January, after almost 200 years in service to the community.
It is now set to become an outpost for the American Catholic higher-level institution Ave Maria University, which will be establishing a new campus on its grounds. Based in Florida, the university will be hosting a semester-long program at Melleray, designed to provide students with academic, spiritual, and cultural formation.
