BENEDICTINE MONKS OF THE DIVINE CHILD JESUS

IF GOD IS CALLING YOU TO A CONSACRATE LIFE?

We are a catholic contemplative communite of monks and nuns. Some of our members are priests and some brothers. We dedicate our lives to God in prayer,work,and charity without having to live our cloistered life. We welcome sigle catholic men and women, twenty one and over,especially those who had been rejected because of their social status, race, colo, education, plece of origen, age, lifestyle,etc., who sincerely want to love and serve God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind. If you listen to your own heart, and feel the gift of being called to a life of solitude, prayer, contemplation and to help others this is your opportunity to fulfill your dream to consacrate your life to God as priest, brother or sister in a monastic and secluded way of life, serving God and His poors through manual work and works of charity, within the enclosure of the monastery. All services are conducted at the parish (church) of the monastery. However if we are called out for prayer, sacraments or any other service, we shall be willing to go with the Abbots permission. Our monastery is like all other monasteries,independent and self-supporting. We use the traditional benedictine habit black in winter and white in summer. Our day begins at 6am with lauds, 10am terce, 12 noon sext, 4pm none, 6pm vespers, 9pm complines. Breakfast at 7am, lunch at 12:45pm and supper at 7pm. In between the hours we do manual work, office work, house and gardening work.
