The
Rule of St. Benedict was written in the first half of the sixth century by St.
Benedict of Nursia, Italy (c. 480-547) for all who seek God. It is
remarkable in its simplicity and flexibility and is still followed by
Benedictines all over the world. Its hallmarks are rootedness in community
(stability), and balance in daily life through work, prayer, study and
leisure.
Our
community was founded by two monks, formerly of Mount Saviour Monastery
in Pine City, New York, in 1998 by invitation of the Bishop of Beaumont,
Texas. Our purpose is to seek balance and wholeness through a life of
work, prayer and community under the Rule of St. Benedict.
Unmarried men (normally between the ages of 25 and 45) who are free of attachments (e.g. dependent family, children, financial obligations) and desire to seek God in a Roman Catholic Benedictine community are encouraged to write to the Vocation Director. Please be sure to include your name, address and telephone number. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
