The Abbey of Regina Laudis, founded in
1947 in Bethlehem, Connecticut, U.S.A., is
a community of contemplative Benedictine
women dedicated to the praise of God
through prayer and work. The nuns of
the abbey chant the Mass and full Divine
office each day, while expressing the
traditional Benedictine commitment to
manual work and scholarship through
various contemporary media and
professional disciplines. The mission
to praise God at all times is symbolized
by the lyre on the abbey's crest and
by our motto, taken from the
book of Judith. Non recedat laus:
Let praise never cease!
