The Solemnity of the Founders of Citeaux celebrates the origin of the Cistercian reform, beginning in 1098. Sts. Robert of Molesme, Alberic and Stephan Harding, all part of the founding monks of Citeaux and the Abbey’s first three Abbots, are remembered by name among the other anonymous founders. It is a non-work day for our community and the Mass is celebrated at 11:00 AM, as on a Sunday. Fr. Joseph Wittstock will preside and preach and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament will follow Vespers (5:30 PM)
