It is not often that a son of St. Norbert and a son of St. Benedict have the opportunity to sit down together for a serious conversation.

Inspired by the short film The Fire of Faith, released in 2025 by Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey, Fr. Ambrose Criste, O.Praem., sat down with Fr. Patrick Carter, O.S.B., to reflect on monastic life and its renewed vitality in America today.
