Abbey of Veracruz The Abbey of Veracruz is a monastic establishment dedicated to the Creator and the Church of the Canon. It is led by the Abbot Humbert de Bar. The monks must take the vows of celibacy, poverty and temperance. Often monks will travel to collect donations and distribute alms alike, as well as preach along the roads. Inside the abbey they will write books, pray, chant and hold mass. It is open the general public for visiting and residing at temporarily. If one is interested contact Abbot Humbert. History of the Abbey The abbey started as an idea by several pilgrims upon arriving to Athera. The pilgrims quickly rushed to a location they referred to as the spot to construct the abbey at. They were led by Thibaut the Pious and Humbert de Bar. Construction quickly began but was slowed down when the foreign workers that were working on it, moved on to different lands across Athera. Due to slowed construction the pilgrims began abandoning the idea. Humbert de Bar, abbot of the abbey declared that they move to Adunia in an effort to revitalize the effort. This didn’t work as Adunia became abandoned. Humbert de Bar retired, until the Stafyrs from Werdenburg reconstructed the Abbey at the same site. Soon the High Pontiff gave the abbey back to Humbert, jumpstarting the effort to create the first monastery on Athera. Hierarchy Abbot - The Abbot is the leader of the abbey, serving the High Pontiff directly. He leads the monks in mass. The Abbot selects the monks from among the acolytes, giving sermons during supper and delegating the monks jobs. Prior - The Claustral Prior is the second-in-command of the abbey. He oversees the everyday living inside the monastery, responsible for the internal and daily affairs of the abbey. Monks - The monks comprise the majority of the inhabitants of the abbey. To become one, an acolyte must attend mass and be deemed ready before taking the vows. Monks are expected to follow their vows and fulfill their duty as monks. This includes travelling, collecting donations and distributing alms as well as writing books, praying and holding mass when necessary. Also they must worship the Creator and follow the Church of the Canon. Acolytes - Acolytes are new recruits interested in being monks or maybe even diocesan clergy. They are still learning how to properly live a monastic life and the values of being a member of the clergy. When the abbot deems them ready they will take the vows and become a monk. Location and Recruitment The Abbey is located very close to Werdenberg. It is fully constructed but just needs to be renovated ((and properly claimed)). At this moment there are only a couple monks, but we are looking for up to ten only at this time. Just contact Humbert if you’d like to become one.
