The Benedictine Confederation joins communities worldwide in celebrating the 100th birthday of Brother David Steindl-Rast OSB, honouring his life as a pioneer of interfaith dialogue and grateful living.

The Benedictine community of Conception Abbey in Missouri, USA, has elected Father Paul Sheller OSB as its 11th abbot. He succeeds Abbot Benedict Neenan OSB, who has retired after ten years of service.

As Montecassino prepares for its 1,500th anniversary, Abbot Luca Antonio Fallica OSB invites the Benedictine Confederation to explore hospitality, culture and the search for God.
