One Thousand Years of Monastic Life
More than a thousand years ago, a group of monks sent by Abbot Oliba arrived at Montserrat to establish a Benedictine community around the hermitage of Our Lady.
Since then, thousands of men have made monastic life at Montserrat their life project. Today, this option continues to make complete sense for those seeking a path of personal and spiritual growth.
Under the motto "Montserrat, a life project," we invite men aged between 20 and 40 to experience monastic life—to ask themselves if this could be a life project for them and to discern it in an atmosphere of prayer, work, and community.

Prayer
Prayer is the center of the monks' daily routine. Through the Divine Office and the conventual Mass, the community comes together to encounter God and one another. We pray to remember that life is greater than ourselves and to find meaning in what we do.
