History
The background of the monastery lies in the
Roman Catholic Church of the Second Vatican Council
.
Finally the first brethren moved to Östanbäck in November 1970. The chapel and monastery were consecrated on 20 July 1975 by Bishop Bengt Sundkler.
Present day
The brethren follow the
Rule of St. Benedict.[1]
The monastery has a candle factory in Östanbäck,[1] which produces candles in different sizes and shapes, among them Paschal candles.
The leader of the monastery is Father Caesarius Cavallin, OSB. Like the
Anglican Benedictine
abbots, he is regularly invited as an observer to the Benedictine abbots' conferences in Rome.

Other Lutheran Benedictine communities for men are "The Congregation of the Servants of Christ" at St. Augustine's House in Oxford, Michigan, United States, and the Priory of St. Wigbert in Germany.
