Have you ever been to the Cistercian Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina, CA?

This place looks marvelous from the website (lots to explore there), although Vina looks to be a very long way from the Bay area (if that's where you are). I can't tell how traditional they may or may not be from my first glance at the website, and I don't see anything about their having Lay Associates either, which is the Cistercian version of a Benedictine Oblate (more or less).
Back to the Camaldolese, if I were more outgoing, I would want to discuss the whole traditional vs. modern issue with one of the monks at New Camaldoli. If they use the NRSV in their liturgies, I would want to know why. Something tells me they did not come to the decision so easily; probably debated the pros and cons before choosing. I would want to know if they felt a person with traditionalist leanings had a place with them. Are they even open to these concerns? Just a few thoughts, anyway.
God bless you,

Chris,
Thanks. Looks like it's the OFS after all. Major roadblocks with the Bennies. I tried Vina. They don't seem to have oblates.
Thank you again

Pray for an increase in faith, then listen in your heart.
The truths of our religion have always been true no matter what people thought was true.
God has been with you all along throughout your journey and will be with you to the end.
God bless +
Peace be with you+

instead of the Liturgy of the Hours valid?
I am not speaking of it as a private devotion. I am asking if praying the MD is "praying with the Church"?
I mean absolutely no disrespect to those who pray the MD in any way. I am interested in it, but I want to be praying with the Church, above all.
Thank you.

This is how the monastery here does it.

That is correct.

Hello Jason. It is interesting that you should post this now. Yesterday I made my full oblation at St Gregory's Abbey. Yesterday was our annual Spring Oblate Day. Were you there? I also received your message and I'll probably continue this discussion by email, though since it is the middle of the night as I write this, that will be later today or tomorrow. Indeed I hope you do consider becoming a part of the St Gregory family. Welcome.
