Saint Vincent Archabbey at a Glance: Nearly 175 monks help create a community at Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. In response to the gentle yet persistent call of God, these men live in the Benedictine spirit, ora et labora, pray and work. They are priests, teachers, writers, psychologists, attorneys, musicians, electricians, artists, firemen, gardeners, and administrators, serving God in a variety of ways. The Benedictines of Saint Vincent integrate a life of ongoing prayer with diverse ministerial roles.

Much apostolic work occurs at Saint Vincent College, Seminary and Parish; however, the mission also extends to parishes and foundations in four states and foreign countries. Most importantly, wherever they serve, the monks strive to build a Christ centered community where all can come and listen to the voice of the Master!

If you are interested in living out your baptismal commitment to Christ in a monastery, please go to Spirituality to find out about the stages of entry into community life according to the Rule of Saint Benedict.
