Our Daily Life
We value the gift of enclosure in which we create an atmosphere
of silence and solitude enabling us to experience friendship with
Christ.
We have two hours of private mental prayer each day, and gather as a
community to pray the Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office of the
Church) six times a day. We strive to create an environment
for prayer which balances solitude and community, silence and
recreation, work and free time.
