Established in the 1980s by Fr John Neudegger, OSB, the monastery is currently home to 24 monks.
In 1980, Abbot Lambert assigned a Benedictine priest, then residing at Nairobi dependency of Peramiho, to Uganda to minister to the sisters.
Though much of his time was occupied with the spiritual direction of the Benedictine sisters, he also had the opportunity to recruit local vocations for the Nairobi monastery from which he had come.
Neudegger purchased some property on the outskirts of Tororo, and built a few simple brick buildings.
Fr Aelred Cousins, a Benedictine of Belmont Abbey, joined Neudegger in 1983, aiding in the spiritual formation of the candidates.
The community was allowed to open a canonical novitiate, in which vocations would be trained according to the principles of the Missionary Benedictines.
