To Close A Monastery

- For 70 years, Trappist monks worshipped and worked in Utah’s Ogden Valley. On August 27, 2017, they celebrated their last mass. The Abbey of Our Lady of the Holy Trinity is now closed, but as they were packing, we travelled to Huntsville to find out what it means to close a monastery.

Such sorrow....to leave home because no new novices. May God bless and comfort them wherever those elderly brothers and priests are now.
St Josephs Villa in 'downtown' SLC. I thought how awful to the fields and open spaces of Huntsville. May they live their days until meeting the Lord with peace.
I wept all through the video. I pray all with be well for the remaining monks. Such dedication to a life of service, God bless all the monks who had built this community. I am well past 40 years otherwise I would gladly join the brothers in a heart beat. Come forth young people, hear the call to service. Bless you all.
Don't you have anything else to do? What do you mean you wept all through? Their way of life and the narratives they have to support it, ain't working. No one can stand up and admit it. They all pretend it is the fault of the secularism or modernism, or this or that. If one can't look in the mirror and see one's face clearly, one is blind and destined to fall trying to walk. It is over!
In Thomas Merton's first diary which is written in the early 1940's at the Abbey of Gethsemani, he talks about the "new foundation" in Utah. He tells how Gethsemani is so overpopulated with monks that they had to start new abbeys in other parts of the country, and how Dom Frederick set out for Utah to find a place there. They needed privacy and land suitable for farming. The foundation was not exactly welcome by the inhabitants of Utah, and gave Dom Frederick some problems in buying the land, so when 30 monks set out for Utah, Dom Frederick had them pack their possessions in whiskey boxes.
Merton recounts the whole abbey coming out to send the 30 monks off, and Merton said that clearly Dom Frederick had sent the best that Gethsemani had.
The Best after he'd sent outstanding monks to Conyers, Ga.
Honestly so sad, I remember growing up coming here once or twice a month. Those were the best memories I ever had. I am absolutely heartbroken that I took advantage of it growing up and didn't care too much to involve myself with the services and pay full attention. I would give anything to be able to walk inside one more time to sit down, pray, and reflect on my life. Such a beautiful, peaceful, and enlightening place.
I was heartbroken when I returned to Liverpool, England, after living abroad for some years to find that the Monastery of the Poor Clares Colettines of Green Lane had been closed and demolished. The few elderly nuns had moved to join a community in York. This was a similar story throughout the country. I was once a brother in Erdington Abbey, Birmingham, England, It is now a non-catholic girls school.
Its still there ... in your heart. I made a comment to a friend once of going from a grand Cathedral to a simple small monastery chapel. She said its not the building that houses God, but within our hearts.
I'm an aspiring Trappist Monk from Nigeria, may God help me in my vocation
Prayers always for those who give their life to Christ' service. Bless you, nnamdiozioko.
I’m sad to say that Father Patrick who is seen here passed away today… May he be granted eternal rest and May perpetual light shine upon him🙏🏻❤️✝️✝️
This was more beautiful than I can say. Poignant and edifying and, yeah, heartbreaking. Thank you for such a respectful look at devotion and love. Btw I'm Protestant and cherish the contemplative world. Pax et lux
Praying you will come to Rome. That we all may be one.
@@TheIndividualChannel He doesn't need Rome
@@robfox5670 He needs the Roman Catholic Church.
@@lucascruz8899 No, he doesn't. If somebody wants to walk the Protestant way, I (truly) respect that. You DO NOT push people to be "something" or to follow your own way! There is NO one and only "right" way that leads to God
Thank you, dear Protestant brother, may good Lord bless you and your kind words
I went on a retreat here. It was wonderful
I met Fr. Brendan in person
Great and positive personality
Absolutely heart breaking.
Made tears run down my face
Heart breaking. Prayers.
Heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking!
Es ist traurig zu sehen, ein Kloster wird geschlossen. Wie wichtig sind diese Oasen der Ruhe des Innehalten!!! Egal welcher Religion . Innehalten, Ruhe und Reflektieren sind heutzutage wichtiger denn je.
So true, it was an oasis of peace and quiet. I will always remember them and their contribution in my life. Peace & Quiet.
So glad they didn't have to move on during a pandemic.
This is what Jesus was saying regarding the narrow road. Few will choose this narrow road.
Bring back the Latin Mass!
Do you live in California?
The novus ordo destroyed them(selves). Traditional monasteries thrive. They wud only wag their heads when u told them this.
Heartbreaking to see Our Lady alone... though I know she most definitely is not. On the altar, is it like de-commissioned after a monastery closes? How does that work? Also, what will become of the brothers' graves whom went to sleep with God until the resurrection? We must remember, like this world, these are temporary places until re-united with our Lord... that's how I keep from feeling sad. And how sad the last 6 monks were all sent to a 'old folks home' to finish their days. They would've had more peace at the monastery. Isn't there a retirement place within SLC for Catholic priests!
Would be interesting to see a follow up to this doc. How did they adjust to new surroundings?
Did they survive covid?
Sad that the monistary had to close ! Hopefully the building can be turned into a school .
When Christ comes back, how many on the earth will still have faith?!?!
I heard today, from Our Lady the Blessed Mother, very very few. So hold tight to yours... remember, this world and satan don't give a flying fig for you. And I don't wish to spend eternity with a being who fell from heaven because of hatred even then of us.
Why?
And having been to SLC countless times growing up, I'm sure every monk who re-located there wishes to be back in that farmland of quiet and peace. Such a shame medical personnel couldn't have been placed there, to care for the aging at what was their home. Praying this new generation of men growing up will come to the table with Jesus, heed the call to aid souls to heaven. Such a selfish world we're in ... pray for them all ... every man woman and child. And especially for the priests, God' hands in this world.
Strange Novus Ordo Monasterys and Convent have no Novices.While traditional monastery have many new novices There's a lesson there for the future.
The arrogance of the church means they wont learn this
Very good point. People want tradition, the way Christ meant for things to be.
May the Peace of Christ be you always.❤️
Why they closed monestry
Because
Because they fell into the plots of the Second Vatican Council
So sad.
And then I watch a video of nuns living the traditional life (Carmel) bursting at the seams! Why? An Abbey here in Virginia is also dying...monks are getting old and very few are joining! I am saddened to see this video that was published nearly two years ago. Sad for many of the monks and for those who have visited the monastery.
The reason is why the whole church is collapsing.... The heresy of modernism. They became "of the world" thinking this would attract more vocations. The opposite took place!!! They have lost the faith!!!
Let us have faith that God guides vocations. This is sad, but perhaps God has decided a different geographical region needs those monks. Or yes, perhaps some men are ignoring their vocation, in which case we should pray and make sure young people do consider religious life.
@@sistermadrigalmorning233 God sends them many vocations...especially to monasteries here in the East. Unfortunately there are some very narcissistic vocation directors who make it almost impossible for men to be accepted.
The Trappists seem to be dying on the vine for many reasons. Some are due to their own inner failings and some rabbits are extremely ill equipped to handle the aging vocation. No longer are the youngsters coming to religious life...yet the Trappists do not seem to have embraced such awareness to survive.
I'm so sorry, forgive me! I'm praying to sàve vocations now. I'm so sorry! Im asking Jesus for grace to write stories to save vocations.
As a priest one of our main vocations crisis is the way people who join are abused, neglected and willfully mistreated
Those are the fruits of Modernism. Had they kept their Traditions and Gregorian Chant then they wouldn’t have died out. All traditional Monasteries are growing and their average age is quite young. It’s sad this Monastery had to die out, but what did they expect if they couldn’t stay true to Tradition!
If they had preserved catholicity they were still there with many vocations.
This is the saddest video I have ever seen
It reflects the state the church is in
Perhaps new immigrants can reside in disused monasteries?
The word "Socialism" is not in favor today in the USA, but reading the Rule of St. Benedict, IMO, a person can see a societal (cenobitic) life-style that is completely social: selfless; sacrificing; Sacramental. "All for One; One for all".
That's a very superficial understanding of monastic life.
U mean communal not social. Monks live a communal life where private goods are shared.
Socialism is a coercive ordering of property, goods and means of production by the STATE and its legal organs. Voluntary sharing based on religious conviction, in enclosed communities, has nothing to do with the force of government.
@@hesedagape6122. In an enclosed community, e.g., Trappists, the only people are the brother monks. The religious life they live together is called "communal" and it is, IMO, an ideal social life.
@@FranklinPUroda of course it is my dear brother. I was only pointing out the subtle difference between communalism which is practised by religious organisations and socialism which is practised mostly by certain governments.
Sad, but real. These are the fruits of Conucil Vatican II. If these monks had not abandoned traditional sacred lithurgy, latin mass, strict observance.... But Devil knows how to work from the very midst of Holy Church.
I myself grown up in that left the catholic 1200 years tradition in münsterland, westphalia. there is no religious feeling left in me, no cult, no prayer even.
there is the feeling of DIVINE in everyting, holy nature, our ancient germanic-celtic traditons, our old gods and goddesses, the indian influence of integral yoga,
doing good all the time, be full of intelligence, individuality, virtues. the DIVINE in its manifested aspect is dynamic, bringing us to more and more consciousness. there is no paradise, no heaven waiting for us, but the task to create a divine garden on the planet, the everlasting moment of here and now.
Whatever. The Holy Trinity is the Divine, and only them. No 'gods' or goddesses. First commandment wgw.
Nobody comes because of Vatican II.
Dear Fathers: Modernism doesn’t pay. So sorry for you.
