Monks Have New Home
Expelled from France, Carthusians Have
Found Haven of Refuge in Sunny Tuscany
Especial CorrespondenceD

Having been eXiled from their mon
astery, near GrenobIe. France. where
the order had been for SEQ years, the
Carthusian monks have erected for
themselves new haven of refuge in
Tuscany, which, II it is not so pictures
cue as the Grande Chartreuse in
France. is in one of Italy's sunniest
provinces.
1t will be recalled about eighteen
months ago all the monastic orders
in France were expelled from thaS
country and their communal property
confiscated by the state. The Carthu
slams. probably one of the richest COM
munities in France. where they had
teen since st. Bruno founded the mon
astery in the eleventh century, were
compelled to quit their ancient home
and their property and go into exile.
At the time of their expulsion the
monks of La Grande Chartreuse found
refuge at the dependent monasteries
CT their order in various parts of the
world: some of them we're quartered
at the monastery of St. Hugh. in Sus-
sex, England. and others. including
the general of the order, Father Rey,
went to Tarragona, Spain.
Almost Immediately, however, the
monks looked about them for new
home. and found a sheltered spot in
the hills of Lucca. Tuscany. Here
they have erected commodious mon
astery, which has only recently been
completed. and in 1t within a few
months all the Carthusians who were
compelled to leave France will be
domiciled. The new monastery is con-
siderably more magnificent struc-
ture than the ancient home of the fol-
lowers of ST. Bruno at Grenoble. The
cloisters are of Carrara marble and
the chapel is more beautifully decor
ated.
