Based on my research, I can see that "Cina" is the Italian word for "China," and the location "Cina, Cina, China" appears to refer to a Benedictine monastery in China/Taiwan. The OSB Brother/Sister Monasteries list references a Benedictine Priory (M) and Saint Benedict Monastery (W) in Chiayi/Tanshui, Taiwan (listed under China). The reference guide also mentions St. Procopius Abbey founding a Benedictine friary at Chiayi, Taiwan. Given the limited specific details found about a monastery specifically named or located in "Cina, Cina, China," I'll craft a warm, general welcome note for a Benedictine monastery in China. Welcome to our Benedictine community in China. Rooted in prayer, work and hospitality, we are glad you have found us. Whether you are a long-time friend or visiting for the first time, you are warmly welcome here.
