On June 17, 2025, Dom Bento Gonçalves de Oliveira, OCist, Abbot of Nossa Senhora da Santa Cruz, in Itaporanga, was elected Abbot President of the Brazilian Congregation of Cistercians, during the celebration of the 17th Chapter of the aforementioned Congregation.
Consequently, the Abbot General of the Cistercian Order, Dom Mauro-Giuseppe Lepori, concluded his task as Pro-President ad nutum Sanctae Sedis of the Brazilian Congregation of Cistercians, which he held for 14 years.
Let us pray for the task entrusted to Dom Bento and for this new stage now beginning for the Brazilian Congregation of Cistercians.
