​​Filming & Photo Shoots
The Monastery has been used in many Hollywood films. The current movie Rock of Ages features our Chapel as the location for Catherine Zeta-Jones' big dance number "Hit Me With Your Best Shot."
We have also been the location for network television shows, commercials, tele-novelas, and hit music videos. Inquire about our rates for filming, engagement photos, modeling, catalogue shoots and portraits for quinceñeras.
