Particpants are invited to enter a simple rule of life which provides a framework for growth in personal faith and suppport in their witness to Christ at home, work and Church. Participants take part in an ordered day of prayer, study, work and leisure. Daily lectures and meditations are led by a gifted faculty. Time is set aside for silence and meditation. Mornings are devoted to study and, because the work of the hands is a vital part of the Benedictine way, participants are encouraged to take part in a work project each afternoon.
Evenings allow time for further talks, discussion, or music.
The programs vary in length from a weekend to one week. The Friends of Saint Benedict.
