Welcome to the Abbey of the Genesee
. . .and welcome to our shiny new web site in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of our foundation. The format and layout have changed but the content remains the same for the most part. It is still a work in progress as we continue updating and tweaking it. Actually, a web site's work is never done as it has a life of its own as it continues growing and developing. If you notice any errors or needed improvements do let us know by contacting the webmaster.
We are a community of some 30 contemplative monks living according to the Rule of St. Benedict and the Constitutions of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (O.C.S.O.), more commonly known as Trappists.
The following pages will serve to provide you with information about who we are and what we do, our liturgical schedule, vocational requirements and procedures. For a complete directory of our pages visit our site map.
