puellapaschalis Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Try the houses of the Solesmes and Subiaco (I'm thinking of Pluscarden) congregations. The EBC is heavily influenced by virtue of its history and thus for them it's very normal to have apostolates outside the enclosure. From what I understand this is not the norm amongst the majority of Benedictine congregations and houses. How about Christ in the Desert, Br. Bruno's monastery? Or the monastery in Norcia? You can also use the [url="http://atlas.osb-international.info/atlas/geo/WORLD/NameCat/1/en.html"]Benedictine Atlas Online[/url] to help.

Laudem Gloriae Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 How about the Cistercian Monks of the Abbey of Our Lady of Spring bank at [url="http://www.monksonline.org/"]http://www.monksonline.org/[/url] ? Also known as the "laser monks" with this site [url="http://www.lasermonks.com/"]http://www.lasermonks.com/[/url] . I remember seeing a 15 min vocation video on them shown on EWTN years ago and thought they were a beautiful order. But that's all I remember or know of them.

Domine ut Videam Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 St. Benedict's Abbey in Atchison, KS. They have active apostalates in being pastors, teacher at the college, and many other things. Personally, I can attest to their phatness , these are some cool dudes. [url="http://www.kansasmonks.org/"]http://www.kansasmonks.org/[/url]

genesisweavers Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) Mount Saviour Monastery - Pine City, New York - they never had an external apostolate. This is the founding monastery of Christ in the Desert. Weston Priory - Weston, Vermont - they also don't have an external apostolate. Edited October 11, 2008 by genesisweavers
littlesister Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 The Hermits of the Most Blessed Virgin Carmelite Hermtage of the Blessed Virgin Mary 8249 Demontreville Trail Lake Elmo MN 55042 Website: decorcarmeli.com/hermits
Rica Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Of course the trappists have no apostolates, but the Camaldolese in eastern Ohio are hermits and are very orthodox. They were founded around 1000 and follow the rule of St. Benedict. I think their website is www.camaldolese.net
Stacey Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Monastery of the Holy Cross - a dependant house of Christ in the Desert no email address listed in the Benedictine year book but address -3111 South Aberdeen Street, Chicago, Illinois 60808-6503 there is also an Anglican one but I don't think you want that do you? You could also try - Cistercians - New Mellaray Abbey, 6500 Melleray Circle, Peosta, Iowa,52068 the Benedictine Confederation www.osb-international.info can probably help you too
