Convent

What is a convent? What is a priorate?

 

Since September 2, 2018, Neuzelle has a dependent priorate of the Cistercian Abbey Stift Heiligenkreuz in Austria. Neuzelle is the youngest of Heiligenkreuz’s three priorates. A dependent priorate is an affiliation that belongs completely to the mother abbey. The Abbot of the mother abbey is the responsible superior for all monks living in a dependent priorate. Every priorate has two superiors who are appointed by Father Abbot: the prior and the subprior. In Neuzelle, the convent is currently formed by six monks, from left to right:
