In a May 25, 2024, decree for the Feast of St. Gregory the VII, a great Benedictine pope, the Priory of San Benedetto in Monte was elevated to the status of an abbey. This canonical elevation brought honor and dignity to the monastery as it celebrated its 25th year. The monks are deeply grateful to all those who made this milestone possible, particularly the Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Order, Dom Gregory Polan, O.S.B. and his council, the Archbishop of Spoleto-Norcia, Renato Boccardo, and especially the founding prior, Dom Cassian Folsom, O.S.B.  Click here to continue reading.

Just a few days ago, the scaffolding was removed from the facade of the monastery, which is now finally visible.

It was with great joy that, during our 25th anniversary, we were finally able to open and bless the new guesthouse. Click here to continue reading the newsletter.

In the company of many locals and friends of the monastery, the monks blessed their new monastic guesthouse Oct. 28.

The beauty of the Sibylline Mountains serves as a backdrop to the monastery's roof, which is still being worked on here on Monte.
