Around 160 educators from five continents gathered at Melk Abbey for BENET 2026, exploring monastic stability, hospitality and the enduring mission of Benedictine schools in a changing world.
Pope Leo’s summer revealed a papal interest in the Benedictine tradition, marked by trips to our oldest monasteries, shared monastic meals, an address to the CIB, and, finally, a generous tribute to “Saint Benedict and his monks” during his visit to France.
Meeting at Sant’Anselmo, delegates voted for new CIB statutes, re-elected Sister Lynn McKenzie OSB as moderator and gathered for the first International Benedictine Women’s Symposium since 2016.
As in every issue of NEXUS, this time too there are some statistics from the Benedictine Confederation: the largest monasteries and the most popular names.
Sant’Anselmo announces four summer programmes for 2027, offering practical leadership training, renewal and focused study for monastic superiors, monks, nuns and oblates in Rome.
The Abbot Presidents travelled far for this year’s synod, to a remote place in Rwanda. Abbot Javier of the Ottilien Congregation reports from that momentous gathering.
