Work

Christ calls every Christian to love and serve others. The call to monastic life flows into the call to service of others for the love of Christ.   Saint Benedict, in his Rule, admonished us: "Let the brothers serve one another." At Mary Mother of the Church Abbey we embrace this call within the confines of the monastery, the local Diocese, and in the universal Church internationally. The monks dedicate their lives to serving God's people in various ministries, such as, the retreat and conference center, the Benedictine High School, hospital chaplancy, parishes, mission outreach to the poor in Africa, and in many other ways.
