Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Pradines

Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Pradines, Benedictine abbey in Pradines, France

The Saint-Pierre abbey complex occupies a stone building in the Loire department, housing a community of 55 Benedictine nuns in Auvergne Rhône Alpes region.

Following the French Revolution's dissolution in 1792, Mother Thérèse de Bavoz reestablished the community in an abandoned castle at Pradines, receiving recognition in 1818.

The nuns maintain a printing press and create liturgical ornaments while dedicating their days to canonical hours and meditation of sacred texts.

The abbey functions as a training center for religious congregations, offering pre-chapter retreats and inter-novitiate meetings throughout the year.
