Information on the Benedictine monks transferred from Villatalla to Taggia

Our Benedictine community of strict observance, founded by two monks originally from Le Barroux Abbey (France) was born on July 2nd 2008 at Villatalla in Liguria, in the diocese of Mgr Oliveri, bishop of Alberga-Imperia. It was transferred to the former convent of the Capuchins of Taggia, even closer to the French border, where it was officially welcomed by Mgr Antonio Suetta, bishop of Ventimiglia-San Remo, on 24th August 2019.
It uses the traditional liturgy both inside and outside of the monastery.
The information on this site is above all a call to the charity of your prayers and, for those who are able, a request for material assistance. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
