New Melleray Abbey is a Cistercian (Trappist) monastery located in the rolling farmland south of Dubuque, Iowa. The monks of New Melleray are Catholics, professing the Rule of St. Benedict in the spirit of the founders of Citeaux, as handed on in the tradition of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, within a community wholly orientated to a contemplative life of prayer.
