“Our life and our death is with our neighbor. If we gain our brother, we have gained God, but if we scandalize our brother, we have sinned against Christ.”

Our History

The Benedictines arrived in the Philippines in the late 19th century to engage in missionary and parish work in Jesuit-established parishes in Surigao. Led by Abbot Jose Deas y Villar, a group of eight priests and six brothers from the Abbey of Montserrat in Spain reached Manila on the morning of September 12, 1895, and temporarily stayed with the Society of Jesus community in Sta. Ana.
