First and foremost is our ministry of prayer. We spend between 4 to 6 hours a day in liturgical community prayer. In addition, we try to pray as much as possible in our hearts ("Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in all things give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you!" (Thess. 5:16-18)
These prayers are for ourselves, the Church and all the world. We receive hundreds of prayer intention requests a month. And we try to remember each one by name and to write down each name in our remembrance books (known as our "Diptychs").
Contact us to find out how to be remembered in our prayers or how to have a loved one remembered.
Hospitality is the natural extension of our prayer life.
What are some ways we offer hospitality?- We run a guest house so that people can come on retreat here allowing them to grow in their faith.
- We offer individual, group, and organized retreats.
- We keep our hearts open so that we can help provide all guests of the monastery something valuable and helpful for their lives.
Evangelizing and teaching the faith is of the utmost importance in our times.
What are some ways we do this?
- Go out to parishes, prayer and Bible Studies and other organizations to give talks.
- Giving parish missions and group retreats locally in the Green Bay Diocese, and in many parishes elsewhere in the United States.
- Write for Catholic online and hard copy news outlets.
- Work with the Ecumenical office of the Diocese of Green Bay to help promote better relations between local churches, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox.
- Worked with numerous outlets (especially EWTN) showing the contributions that an Eastern Catholic Monastery can make in the New Evangelization.
We offer spiritual direction to many people. If you wish to receive spiritual direction please contact us to make an appointment.
These are just some of the things we do. We also have a big and historic building to take of, restore and landscape. In the past, we've even milked cows to help make ends meet!
