Many must have noticed that I have somewhat made discussion on this blog about the many Churches here in Israel, and not just posts about Saint Rita of Cascia.

Admittedly, I am running out of topics about my beloved Saint Rita, and Infant Jesus of Pragues so I would have to make this blog one which discusses general topics that are mainly religious, Christian or Catholic in nature.

Trappist Monastery


Still, I have no information on where a church or shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia or Infant Jesus of Prague can be found here in Israel. Any information you might have?

However last week, we were about to visit the Trappist Monastery located at Latroun. The monastery is modern in design and structure, with a nice garden and fruit orchards on the area surrounding the building.

The Trappist Monastery actually being run by the austere Cistercian monks, who are popular for maintaining a frugal living and have a vow of silence.

The monastery is known for producing excellent olive oil, which people can have at their shop in the monastery.
