BENEDICTINE MONKS OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

Who are weA Contemplative Benedictine Community of monks founded in 1996 and dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary and with whom, they sit at the foot of the Cross of Christ supplicating for the World, through a life of prayer, work and study in the framework of the Rule of Saint Benedict.

with His presence” Rev 7:15
