At this time of the year  the ‘summer season’ starts and we receive many tourists. We also receive many monks and seminarians from other countries who wish to share something of our life and work for a period. From this we have many friends from many countries and good and long friendships have formed.

The Abbey of Santa Giustina in Padua has been sending students to us for more than thirty years. Also we have many French who come because of our history and spirit. The photograph below shows Mass celebrated in the abbey church by a northern French seminary.
