Marvin, Italy
Blue Cloud Abbey, formally Our Lady of the Snows Abbey, was an American Benedictine monastery located near the town of Marvin, in Grant County, South Dakota. It was a member of the Swiss-American Congregation. The patron saint of the monastery was the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady
of the Snows, from which the abbey derived its name. The abbey closed in 2012, and a Catholic non-profit purchased the property, which now functions as Abbey of the Hills Inn and Retreat Center.
