Discernment
Are You Attracted to a Life of:
- Simplicity, where you’re focused on what truly matters in life?
- Peace, where perfect mutual charity is the goal?
- Stability, living your life in one place with the same religious family?
- Prayer, sanctifying your entire day by offering it to God?
If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then there’s a possibility that God is calling you to test a vocation to monastic life.

Be Not Afraid!
That first moment you perceive a possible call can be daunting. It was for many of us. Yet, we are all grateful that we followed that initial inspiration to explore monastic life. And we’re ready to help you discern whether you’re called to follow the same path.
