A short time later they were joined by forty-five monks, sent as temporary helpers from the founding monastery.á Since that time the monks of St. Benedict&rsquo,s have striven to follow the Rule of St. Benedict by becoming a &ldquo,school of charity.&rdquo,á The monksáaspire, through the daily life of their Cistercian community, to be transformed in mind and heart by embodying Christ Jesus in ways appropriate to our times.
