The article presents an outline of the contribution of Benedictine monks into the development of Christianity in its first centuries in Poland. Four aspects are taken into consideration: historical, spiritual, cultural and ecological, the latter understood in an integral way, i.e., including economy and administration. Moreover, a wider panorama of the contemporary activities of the Benedictine monasteries in Europe is also outlined in order to show how a more intense turning towards the Benedictine tradition might be helpful in resolving some problems now faced by the Church in Poland.
