history

The Cistercian Order of Close Observance (also #233 known as “Trapenses”) is a Contemplative Religious Order of the CatóRomanlica Church, formed by monasteries of Monks and Nuns. We are part of the broad Cistercian Family, which has its #237;genes in 1098. As Cistercians we follow the Rule of Saint Benedict of Nursia, and that is why we are also #233;n part of the Benedictine Family.

Our lives are dedicated #225 to the búsqueda of the unión with God, through Jesus Christ, in a community of brothers.

Project

San Benito says that to be true monks, we must live from our work; for this reason, our community of Santa María de Huerta, in the province of Soria, makes jams and quince sweet in order to cover the expenses #237 and needs of our community, as well as #233;n that of people who suffer material need and who come to our monastery. We produce our products by hand, complying with all EU health standards. We want to serve God and help prójimo with our work.
