What Order of monks are isolated and celebrate only the traditional Latin mass Only

[SlavesOfJesusandMary]

What order besides clear creek abbey celebrate only the traditional Latin mass and are isolated?

 

[Fauken]

I don’t mean to discourage you from joining a group that exclusively celebrates the EF (far from it because I love the EF), but with discerning a vocation to an Order, your first priority should be if you’re called to that charism, not what Mass they celebrate. Your religious Order is your family. If you feel called to be a Benedictine, then you can look for Benedictine abbeys/monasteries that celebrate the EF. If your primary interest is a community that celebrates the EF, then I suggest you look at the FSSP, ICKSP, etc.

With that being said, check on the side of this website. They list some traditional communities.

If you are thinking of becoming a Monk, please talk to your local Diocese who should have a list of Monasteries.

What do you mean by isolated? (I know what the word means, but I’m wondering if you’re using it the same way I’m understanding it.)

Maybe he means hermit?

 

[OraLabora]

I’m assuming he means “cloistered”, though men’s abbeys do not for the most part have the Papal Enclosure, which Benedictine nuns do have (but not Benedictine sisters).

There are several Benedictine abbeys of the Solesmes Congregation that celebrate the EF Mass; only one in N. America though, and that’s Clear Creek. The others are in France.

Others use the OF Mass, but celebrated in Latin or Latin/Vernacular hybrid with Gregorian chant (propers and Ordinary), like at our abbey in Canada, which also celebrates Lauds and Vespers in Latin Gregorian chant.

I second what Fauken says, the charism and lifestyle of the order is of prime importance above the form of the Mass. Not only will you spend a lifetime with this community, the community actually gets to vote to allow you past simple and solemn profession. If one is there for the wrong reasons, one will get weeded out very quickly.

If one wants complete “isolation” as “hermit”, then the Carthusians are pretty much the only choice which does celebrate some Office and the Mass in community and share their Sunday meal together. They have their own Mass, not yet approved by the Vatican (post V-II). There are also Camaldolese Benedictines that are a hybrid of hermit and community living.
