There are 3 beautiful traditional monasteries in the united states. They are all doing very well with the high number of young monks each one has. 1. Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey 2. New Mount Carmel Monastery 3. Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery.
I've been to Our Lady of Clear Creek Abbey a couple times. My 4 year old son told me while there that God told him he's going to be a monk. We'll see.
It is wonderful to see new monasteries and convents flourishing. Full of young people. If a monastery or religious community is not getting vocations I suspect it is time for them to ask if they are doing the Will of God. But very often it is the other way around, they blame the young people for not wanting to join.
