Visits to Bose of monks and nuns of other communities have founded or renewed ties of friendship and fraternity in a community of following Christ and have permitted a fruitful exchange of experiences.

In addition to the numerous monks and nuns who came for the liturgical conference or that on Orthodox spirituality, we remember with joy the visits of the last few months: fr Michel van Parys, Benedictine monk of Chevetogne, br Gabriele Zighetti,  Benedictine monk of Evian,  br Matteo of Camaldoli, br Peter of the German Protestant community of Imshausen, br Michael David and br Serafino of the community of the Visitation in Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, br Bank, Benedictine monk of the Hungarian monastery in Pannonhalma, br. Pino, Benedictine of Dumenza, fr Luigi Gioia, Olivetan monk resident at Sant’Anselmo, Rome, sr Maria Teresa, Capuchin Poor Clare, former abbess of the Oristano convent, four brothers of the Cistercian abbey of Hauterive. We have also had the joy of welcoming in June br Wissam, br Yasir, and br Raed, monks of the Syrian Catholic Church, who shared our monastic life with us. Finally, at the beginning of June we were visited by fr Pachomius, monk of the El-Suryani monastery in Egypt and for many years now pastor of the Coptic community of Florence, together with fr Simon, the new pastor of the Coptic community of Turin.
