Abbot Primate Gregory J. Polan, OSB, and the abbots president of the <\/span>congregations that constitute the Benedictine Confederation<\/span><\/a> met together from 6-11 September 2020 at Sant\u2019Anselmo in Rome for their annual synod. During the course of this meeting, the abbot primate and abbots president examined various issues impacting the Church and the Benedictine Confederation. In addition, the synod examined annual reports on the principal activities and events of the <\/span>Primatial Abbey of Sant\u2019Anselmo<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Pontifical Athenaeum of Sant\u2019Anselmo<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Collegio Sant\u2019Anselmo<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The synod is usually an annual event. However, in 2020, the Synod of Abbots President was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 also caused the cancellation – twice – of the Congress of Abbots in 2020 and 2021. At this meeting, the synod decided to hold the next Congress of Abbots in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n
