The Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, also known as Trappists, is a Roman Catholic monastic order that follows the Rule of St. Benedict. The order takes its name from La Trappe Abbey in Normandy, France, where a reform movement began in 1664. Trappist monasteries produce goods like cheese, bread, alcohol and coffins that are sold to provide income while monks strive to closely follow St. Benedict's rules of stability, fidelity to monastic life, and obedience through practices like silence and manual labor. Requirements to join include being a single, baptized Catholic male without dependents and with permission from one's parish priest and parents.
