We are a contemplative monastic community living according to the Rule of St. Benedict with a distinctive dedication to the Eucharist. Our ministry is one of prayer, and we support ourselves with the sale of altar breads. We are the Vatican's first approved maker of low-gluten altar breads. We also publish Spirit&Life magazine, one of the oldest, continuously published faith-centered periodicals in the nation, and own Monastery Creations, a line of handcrafted soaps, lotions other items made through the partnership of work and prayer. Many of our soaps and lotions are crafted with a drop of holy water.
