On June 11, 2005 The Tablet reported, "There have been peace talks, summits, marches, encounter groups and petitions. For 40 years people have tried solution after solution to bring peace to Northern Ireland. Now a more original idea is being tried out in the foothills of the Mourne Mountains. Four French monks and one Northern Irish monk have established a new Benedictine monastery devoted to drawing Protestants and Catholics closer together through retreats, and praying for their reconciliation."
