Closure of Our Lady of Calvary Abbey in Rogersville

Dear Archbishop Guy Desrochers,
On April 26, 2024, the abbot general of Cistercians of the Strict Observance and his council, sitting in Rome voted to close Our Lady of Calvary abbey here in Rogersville, NB.
It follows that we are officially closed.  A commission has been formed to deal with the practicalities of closure.  We are still here though, living our monastic life until all issues regarding this closure are resolved.
I hope that you will please pass on this message to all the priests, religious and faithful in the diocese.
Thank you.

Fr. Innocent Ugyeh
Calvary Abbey, Rogersville.
