The Monks Of Weston Priory

Band, US
Folk and World

Weston Priory is a community of Benedictine monks who reside in Weston, Vermont, USA, founded in 1952. The Priory is within the confines of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, which encompasses the entirety of Vermont. They are particularly known for the songs they have contributed to Roman Catholic worship over the past 50 years, missionary work in South America, and the pottery produced at the monastery. In the 1960s, the brothers of Weston Priory began writing their own music for use in their community prayer, a central feature of monastic life. They compose much of the music they use when they pray the monastic office and celebrate liturgy. Their music is well known throughout the world, as it has become popular Catholic liturgical worship music. Visitors are invited to join in the prayer and worship of the community
