Welcome
ARCCIS
Association pour le Rayonnement de la Culture CIStercienne
Association for the Radiation of Cistercian Culture
The goal of the association, which was created on the 15th January 1996, is ‘to make known Cistercian culture in all its forms as widely as possible; to defend it against erroneous interpretations or tendencies, and to encourage people to experience Cistercian Spirituality. The association uses all the appropriate means to do this.” Thus the object of the association ARCCIS is neither intellectual nor academic, but cultural in the sense that it strives to highlight the living link between the spirit of Citeaux, its traditions and a way of life.
