Monastic Prayer

Prayer is at the center of our lives. We come together each day to pray the Liturgy of the Hours and celebrate the Eucharist. We also practice Lectio Divina and other devotions individually and in groups.

The alternation of prayer and work is the rhythmic breathing of the monastic day and gives our Benedictine life its most basic form. Gathering in the early morning for prayer in the abbey church, we go forth to work, assemble for prayer at midday, share a meal, return to work, and finally conclude our day with prayer. Hearing Word of God together in the liturgy and individually calls us back to our Christian purpose and opens us to the possibilities for service and encounter with Christ that each day brings.

Join us for prayer!

Guests are always welcome to join the monks for daily prayers and Eucharist. Please come up to the choir stalls on the west side of the altar, and a monk will help you get settled. Seating for Sunday Eucharist is in the main body of the church.
