Weston Priory is the home of a community of Benedictine monks in Weston, Vermont. They are particularly known for the songs they have contributed to Roman Catholic worship over the past 50 years. == Overview == Weston Priory was founded by Abbot Leo A. Rudloff of Dormition Abbey in Jerusalem in 1953. The community founds their contemplative existence on the rule of Benedict and the Gospels. They are dedicated to peace and social justice, particularly in Latin America, and also to caring for the natural world. In the 1960s, they began writing their own music for use in their community prayer, a central feature of monastic life. They compose all 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. The priory itself contains several gardens, livestock, and an art store, including pottery and other ceramics made by the monks. Notable community members have included ceramic artist Brother Thomas (Thomas Bezanson) and Gregory Norbet, the composer of much of the community's earlier music. Author Tomie DePaola was briefly a member in 1956.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】accessdate= 2008-06-26 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weston Priory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
