It became already a tradition that every year shortly before Christmas Abbot Primate Gregory Polan together with his Prior Fr. Mauritius Wilde would pay a visit to the Casa community.

So also this year on December 22.
After a short prayer in the chapel we had coffee together in the refectory.

Then we moved to the community room, where we could listen to news from the Benedictine Confederation all over the world
and from Sant’Anselmo.

It was good to be together and hear from each other.
