Abbey Of The Holy Spirit




As described in the Order's Constitution , this Order is a monastic institute wholly ordered to contemplation. The Monk s dedicate themselves to the worship of God in a hidden life within the monastery under the Rule Of Saint Benedict . They follow in the spirit of the founders of Citeaux , as handed on in the tradition of the Order, within a community wholly oriented to a contemplative life of Prayer . They lead a monastic way of life in solitude and dance, in assiduous prayer and joyful penitence.

Currently the Monastery of the Holy Spirit is a community of forty- five monks spanning several generations, who live, work and pray at the Abbey . They were founded from the Abbey of Gethsemani, Trappist, Kentucky in the winter of 1944 .
