Benedictines Monks
The Mosteiro de São João Gualberto is a monastery of Vallombrosian Benedictine monks located in the Pirituba neighborhood of São Paulo, Brazil. It was founded in 1967 by Italian monks of the Vallombrosan congregation, which traces its origins to Saint John Gualbert in 11th-century Tuscany.
The monks' day follows the Office of Readings and Lauds, the midday hour, Vespers, the evening conventual Mass, and Compline. The community is linked to a school, a parish, and the Mosteiro Nossa Senhora de Montenegro. Available sources do not describe any retreatant hospitality.
