Mount St Bernard Abbey is a Roman Catholic monastery belonging to the Trappist Order, near Coalville, Leicestershire, England, founded in 1835 in the parish of Whitwick.
The abbey was the first permanent monastery established in England since the Reformation and is the only Trappist house in England. There are 25 monks living and working in the monastery, more than half of whom are over 80 years old.
The monks brew the only Trappist beer in the UK there. The story of the relatively recent creation of the brewery is equally interesting.
In the film, which takes more of a documentary form, you will find a beautifully told story of the vocation and life of the monks living there. It seems that one of the monks is Polish or has Polish roots.
It is one of the better contemporary films on monastic themes that I often return to.
I sincerely recommend it! For me, 5/5.
P.S. Maybe someone has the connections to arrange a retreat stay for me in such a monastery, preferably in Poland of course, but I can also travel further 🙂 I will be eternally grateful.
