Cistercian Congregation San Bernardo (CCSB)
The Cistercian Congregation San Bernardo (CCSB) has been an association of Spanish Saint Bernard Sisters since 1994 as an independent monastery congregation within the Cistercian family .
history
Around 20 Spanish Cistercian monasteries , who felt close to the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance (OCSO) in their spiritual charisma , joined forces in 1955 to form the Federación de Monjas Cistercienses de la Regular Observancia de San Bernardo en España , which was also commonly called the Federación of Las Huelgas because the Las Huelgas Monastery in Burgos played the leading role. The spiritual kinship was officially recognized by the OCSO in 1992. However, it was not incorporated, but in 1994 by the Vatican to elevate the Federación to the status of an independent congregation ( Congregatio Monialium Cisterciensium de S. Bernardo ), which is associated with the OCSO and whose Congregational Superior of the Spanish monastery region belongs to the Strict Observance. As an independent congregation, the associated 23 monasteries (originally 27) do not appear on the OCSO website or in the Elenchus Monasteriorum Ordinis Cisterciensis (directory of the monasteries of the Cistercian Order). In the Elenchus only the congregation is listed.
