Projects 3559 à 3564: Formation for six brothers

The monastery was founded in 1958 by the abbey of Maredsous (Belgium). The community comprises twenty-four brothers. As well as livestock rearing and farming, the brothers have a brickyard and also make jewellery. Pastoral activities: sessions, parish, accompaniment. Some of the brothers are teachers.

The community is committed to training so that it can meet its own needs as well as the needs of pastoral care.
