Bon Conseil Monastery
Bon Conseil Monastery (Latin Abbatia BM de Boni Consilii ; French Abbaye Cistercienne Notre-Dame du Bon Conseil ) is a Trappist abbey in Canada , first in Saint-Romuald (today: Lévis , Chaudière-Appalaches ), since 2002 in Saint-Benoît -Labre, Beauce-Sartigan , Archdiocese of Québec .
history
For fear of the French law separating church and state (with the dissolution of the religious orders), the Bonneval monastery in Lévis in Canada founded the Notre-Dame du Bon Conseil (Maria Counselor) monastery as a refuge in 1902 , which became independent in 1923, became a priory in 1924 and in 1927 was raised to the abbey . After a hundred years the buildings had become too big for the community and they moved to newly constructed buildings 100 kilometers east in Saint-Benoît-Labre. A chocolate factory run by the nuns contributes to the maintenance of the monastery.
