The Feast Day Of All Monks Of The Benedictine Order (O.S.B.). Today, 13 November.


Text from The Saint Andrew Daily Missal,
unless stated otherwise.

In the Supplement for The Order Of Saint Benedict, contained within The Saint Andrew Daily Missal, there is listed all the Feasts associated with that Religious Order.

The Feast Of All Monks Of The Benedictine Order (O.S.B.).
   13 November.

Double of The Second-Class.

White Vestments.



Up to the end of the 16th-Century, there was no General Feast of this name for the whole Benedictine Order, since “The Order Of Saint Benedict”, in the modern sense, was unknown.

In individual Monasteries, as Monte Cassino, Cluny, Fontenelle, etc, a Feast of all the Saints proper to the Monastery was observed, on different dates; only by the Revision of The Monastic Breviary, by Pope Saint Paul V, in 1612, a General Feast of All Holy Monks of The Benedictine Order was instituted, on 13 November.

Mass: Gaudeámus omnes.
Epistle: Exhibeámus.
Gospel: Ecce nos relíquimus (from The Common of Abbots).
Creed: Is Said or Sung.
Preface: Of Saint Benedict (Page 19 in The Supplement For The Order Of Saint Benedict, contained within The Saint Andrew Daily Missal).
