Description: In a world that seeks freedom with an enthusiasm perhaps greater than ever before, we would like to describe our Benedictine monastic way of life as a journey towards that freedom. This site tours the monastic community of Saint Louis Abbey: Prayer, the Monks, Work, A Day in the Life, Study, and the History of the Abbey.
Welcome to the Abbey of Saint Mary and Saint Louis It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our website and introduce you to our way of life as Benedictine monks at the Abbey of Saint Mary and Saint Louis. Over a millennium and a half ago, our Holy Father Benedict placed great attention on the reception of guests, and it is upon his instructions on the subject that I will base my introduction. He noted that "after the guests have been received, they should be invited to pray; then the superior or an appointed brother will sit with them" (Rule of Saint Benedict 53:8). I would like to fulfill the first precept by praying for your growth in holiness. May you grow each day in your knowledge and love for the Lord Jesus and may his Spirit guide you to what he wants you to be. I also request your prayers for our community, specifically that we may grow in numbers and holiness.
