The Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life has concluded its apostolic visitation of Heiligenkreuz Abbey after months of investigation into the life and governance of the Austrian Cistercian monastery.
The findings were formally communicated to the community during a conventual chapter, following interviews with around 90 monks and a number of external individuals conducted by the appointed visitors, Benedictine Abbot Primate Jeremias Schröder and Sister Christine Rod MC.
