Delegates from Benedictine communities across East Asia and Oceania met at Thien Binh Monastery, Vietnam, in October to renew collaboration in formation and education, and to elect new leadership for the regional network.

Brother Richard Oliver OSB foresaw the digital age and, in 1995, built OSB DOT ORG—one of the earliest Catholic websites. His pioneering “monastic webweaving” connected Benedictines worldwide long before the internet was common ground.

Sant’Anselmo announces that Father Mauritius Wilde OSB has been appointed Abbot of Maria Laach by the Holy See. The Abbot Primate thanks him for his years of service and prays for blessings on his new ministry.
