Saint Joseph’s Abbey, is a cloistered Roman Catholic monastery of monks of the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance, commonly known as Trappists. This religious community was established in 1825 in Spencer, MA. The monks following the Rule of Saint Benedict have prayed and worked in common, and lived by the labor of their hands which is a key tenet of monastic life. The Rule of St. Benedict says, “then they are truly monks when they live by the labor of their hands”. Traditionally Trappist did this by farming and hospitality has also always been a special work of the monks, who for centuries have preserved food products with extraordinary care. Trappist Preserves allows the monks to support themselves by following a key tenet of monastic life through prayer and the work of their hands. Ora et Labora.
