Cistercian Monks Email: ocistaddis@ethionet.et Website: http://www.ethiocist.org
The Oriental Rite Cistercian
Monasticism dates back to 1930. It was pioneered by a pious Eritrean
diocesan priest, Abba Haile Mariam Ghebre-Amalak alias Fr. Felix, when he
became a Cistercian monk of Casamari Abbey in southern Italy, starting
his novitiate on December 7, 1930. He died in 1934 but his work lives
on. In 1940, monks of the Cistercian Congregation of Casamari opened a
monastery at Beleza, 14 kms. north of Asmara, Eritrea. In 1948, the
community was transferred to Asmara. The latter monastery became
Prioratus Sui Juris, i.e. an autonomous province in the context of the
Cistercian Congregation of Casamari (all the houses in Eritrea and
Ethiopia are under this monastery).
