Ut in omnibus Dei glorificetur

 This is a heartfelt appeal to join us in a noble endeavor to continue to give to God the glory that He merits!  Divine Providence has placed on our path the purchase and comprehensive restoration of a historic Cistercian monastery. 

After several years in precarious circomstances, the two monasteries of the Benedictines of the Immaculate have a unique opportunity to bing back to life this 12th century monastery the very reason for which it was built.

This project, with a total estimated cost of 1,550,000 euros, aims to save a precious piece of our shared European history and Church from decay and oblivion.

Cistercian monasteries represent the pinnacle of medieval monastic architecture, embodying principles of fidelity to tradition, sacrality, simplicity, work, and ascetism. These sanctuaries have been centers of prayer, agriculture, and learning for centuries. The holy rule of St. Benedict shaped European civilisation; and we have a unique opportunity to restore what our Fathers in the Faith so painstakingly and lovingly built.
