Historic Monastic Publications

Below is a selection from the myriad publications written by past members of our community over the years, beginning with our founder, Father Thomas Verner Moore. The areas of study are not limited to Theology, but also include Philosophy, Law, and other secular and sacred sciences. In the footsteps of St. Anselm of Canterbury, we live in continued fidelity to our founding charism of contemplation and scholarship, as evidenced by our future Benedictine Learning Center building project, and our ongoing relationship with the Catholic University of America and other local and national intellectual institutions.
