Resignation of Father Abbot Vladimir of Lérins

The community of Notre-Dame de Lérins Abbey is going through an important stage in its life and entrusts itself to the prayers of the entire Order.

After 27 years as abbot and upon reaching the age of 70, Abbot Dom Vladimir Gaudrat, president of the Congregation of Cistercians of the Immaculate Conception, submitted his resignation to the Father Abbot General during his regular visit. The latter accepted it. The election of the new abbot will take place at the end of January. The newly elected abbot will continue the transformation project already underway and will face the challenges that the community must meet in its spiritual mission and various activities.

The Abbot General, as well as the entire Order, are very grateful to Dom Vladimir for his long and generous service to his community and his Congregation, as well as to the Abbot General's Council, the Synod and the General Chapter. May God bless this new stage in his monastic life!
