Weston Priory is a Roman Catholic church at 58 Priory Hill Road in Weston, VT 05161. It is one of 4 churches in Weston.

Above all, we hope to live the Gospel together. Seeking to be, in Brother Leo's words, "an embassy of the Reign of God", we hope that we will, in some measure, foster the healing and reconciliation of the whole human family.

We are a community of Benedictine monks, founded in 1953 by our brother, the late Abbot Leo Rudloff, of Dormition Abbey in Jerusalem. Inspired by a monastic tradition reaching back to the earliest centuries of the church, and shaped by the Rule of Saint Benedict, our life together centers on prayer, manual work, and hospitality.

Serving since 1953

From the Catholic Church the whole body received the canon of Scripture, the creeds still recited every Sunday in traditions that never look to Rome, and monasteries that kept learning and Scripture alive through a thousand unlit years. Its parishes remain the largest network of schools, hospitals, and shelters in America, most of them serving people who will never attend a Mass.
