Our mission as Catholic Comtemplative monks: whose primary service in the Church is a life of unceasing prayer and sacrifice. We respond to the call of Jesus Christ by living out gospel values within the unfolding mystery of the Cistercian chrism in our age and culture. In fidelity to our ancient Cistercian tradition, we live as solitaries who cherish and build loving community. Both individually and communally, we embrace the invitation to the fullness of union with God, and therefore, we accept the challenge of ongoing conversion. We commit our lives and dedicate our energies to furthering God's presence and activity in the human family and in all creation. Therefore our main goal is centered on the ultimate reality of life which is God alone.
