Meet Some of the Brothers

Over the span of 64 years since its foundation in 1944, many men have lived within the walls of this monastery.  Some have lived the life for a period of time, found direction and moved on to pursue their vocation in other walks of life – the temporary vocation. Many persevered to old age until their season to pass on to the prize of eternal life had arrived. Some 38 men are buried in our cemetery after having persevered to the end. These we call the triumphant. We are currently a community of 40 monks spanning several generations, who live, work and pray at the Abbey. Listed are the monks and their date of entrance.
