ARKANSAS? YOU’RE JOKING, RIGHT?
ACTUALLY, WE’RE QUITE SERIOUS!
Why would men be coming from around the nation to join a
monastic community in Arkansas?
It’s not because we have the most professionally designed ad!
It’s certainly not because we have the coolest weather!
Maybe...just maybe...it’s because God wants real men to answer a call
to an ancient way of life that is being made new again! We are ordinary men
who never...NEVER...thought we would become monks.
Today, we are a thriving Benedictine community of forty-one monks
and twelve men in formation---Brothers and Priests living together as one family.
Centered in our monastery, we live a balanced life of prayer with work in our
Academy, Retreat Center, Farm and Parishes.
Your family will say, “You wanna be what?...a monk?...in Arkansas?”
Trust us! You will laugh with them and then say, “I know, it’s crazy!”
Check us out and experience for yourself how God is still calling men p r e o
to monastic life in the 21st century...EVEN to Arkansas.
