Founded from Ampleforth Abbey in England in 1955, the monastery became an independent House in 1973. Today the Community numbers 24 Monks, of whom three-quarters are American-born. The Monastery operates a day School for boys in grades 7-12, (aged 12-18) numbering 390 students. Several beautiful buildings have been erected on the 150 acre campus; the Church was renovated in 1995, and a new Monastery residence was completed in 2001. In addition to running the local Parish of St. Anselm, the Monks have frequent interaction with the Catholic community, and provide a hospitable, welcoming atmosphere while at the same time preserving monastic quiet and apartness.
