Successor Named for French Monastic Community | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Known for its distinctive chants of sacred scripture, the Taize community is set to welcome a new leader. This ecumenical group was founded by a Swiss protestant just before World War 2 in Burgandy, France. Having led the Taize community for 18 years, Brother Alois joins us to comment on his decision to step down, reflect on his many memories, and explain the community’s unique music. Describing the many different faiths that make up the community, he also clarifies how he consulted with the group’s nearly 100 members to select his successor: Brother Matthew, an Anglican from England. The change of prior will take place on the first Sunday of Advent, December 3, 2023. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
