As part of its mission of Monastic revival, the Abbey has been the Mother House of numerous other Monastic Foundations, most notably in recent years the Monastery at Palendriai, in Lithuania.
The Abbey is noted for its crucial contribution to the advancement of The Roman Catholic Liturgy and the revival of Gregorian Chant. A documentary film on life at Solesmes was made in 2009 and focuses on the Tradition of the Chant at the Monastery.
