Huntington and the Rule of St. Benedict. The center of the life of each monastery of the Order is the corporate praying of the Divine Office four times a day and the celebration of the Eucharist.
Monks also spend time in private prayer and meditation.
The work of each house is varied depending on location and resources available to support the corporate life of the community. Associated with the Order of the Holy Cross are groups of lay people and clergy who participate in varying degrees in the prayer and work of each house of the Order. Information about these groups can be had by writing any of the monasteries. This Web site developed and maintained by Gary Risner and Carolyn Cline . Last updated August 2000.
