Mission Statement
Our monastery is more than a center of divine tranquility and quietude, where monks live, labor, and pray and where people of all ethnic backgrounds and all cultural traditions come for spiritual solace. It is a nature preserve, where the monastics have planted a majestic grove of redwoods. Although it is located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area, it is surrounded by over 24 square miles of wilderness protected in several East Bay Regional parks. Mostly unfenced, It serves as an important corridor for wildlife, enabling deer, raccoon, foxes, wild turkeys, bobcats, and many other wild animals to pass freely between Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park to the east and Garin/Dry Creek Regional Park to the west. Everyone is welcome in this haven of God’s grace and embrace, which also serves as a retreat center of remarkable quietude in the heart of the heavily populated Bay Area.
About This Cause
Our monastery serves people of all ethnic backgrounds and all cultural traditions. It is a spiritual center of remarkable natural beauty, where retreats have been held for people seeking spiritual solace. The Fathers do their utmost to make every visitor feel that their monastic dwelling is a spiritual home to anyone who comes to it for spiritual nourishment and contemplate the peaceful beauty of nature. Everyone is welcome in this haven of God’s grace and embrace. It exists as a haven of spiritual tranquility, tolerance and kindness, not only for the local eagles, hawks, owls, wild turkeys, deer, foxes, bobcats and raccoon, but for all who come to partake of the monastery's peace and befriend the Fathers. The beauty and harmony of the Monastery and its environs speak for themselves—and speak to the soul and heart of anyone who loves God, humankind, and nature.
