Monastic Commitment

As a Benedictine monastic community our core monastic commitment is that we are a “school of the Lord’s service” (Prologue to the Rule of St. Benedict) in which we listen carefully to God and serve God as source of life, joy, and meaning, and welcome all people as Christ.

The diagram below illustrates how our Monastic Practice embodies this core commitment.
