The Benedictine Abbey of Montserrat marks its millennium of monastic life
First source report
The Benedictine Abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat celebrated the thousandth anniversary of its foundation by Oliba, the abbot of Ripoll and of Cuixà and bishop of Vic, during 2025.
The abbey hosted the I Liturgical Congress from July 5 to July 10, 1915. Professor Roberto de Mattei notes that Pope Pius X had established a program for authentic liturgical renewal. This program was inspired by Father Guéranguer, the abbot of Solesmes, who understood the renewal of monastic life as a return to traditional Roman liturgy.
