Father Innocent Ugey is father superior of Our Lady of Calvary Abbey in Rogersville, N.B. The monastery currently only has three monks remaining.The historic trappist monastery that has served Rogersville, N.B. for over a century has closed because the order that ran it could not recruit new monks.
He says the church voted to close the abbey because of dwindling membership. There are currently only three monks left, one of whom lives in a special care home at age 97.“Recruitment here is not very possible here. It’s very minimal. Not a whole lot of people want to join,” said Ugyeh.The Municipality of Nouvelle-Arcadie is hoping they can become the new owners.
