The community, which comprises about 40 monks, follows the Rule of St. Benedict and belongs to the Subiaco Cassinese Congregation. The brothers offer the hospitality of their house to men, households and groups requiring silence or spiritual guidance.

To support themselves they principally make the ewes' milk cheese Abbaye de Belloc. Among other activities they also undertake illumination and calligraphy and run a bookshop open to the public.
