Monastery of St. Benedict

From the comments to the NLM thread on the new traditional Benedictine foundation in Italy:

I think everyone should also check out this new foundation in Italy. They pray the traditional offices in Gregorian chant. They say the new Mass but in Latin. They seem to be growing. They strive to a live a traditional monastic life based on the Rule of St. Benedict.

Two interesting notes is that the monastery is 1) at the birth place of Sts. Benedict and Scholastica 2) That most of the members of American. Check out their site (make sure your speakers are on so you can hear the chant).

I had forgotten that this was the foundation associated with Fr. Cassian Folsom, O.S.B. Sorry Sarge, no tonsure.
