A School of the Lord's Service
At Saint Louis Abbey, we are a dedicated community of Catholic men committed to seeking union with Christ through prayer and work. Our life together is deeply rooted in the ancient Benedictine tradition, fostering spiritual growth, silence, stability, obedience, and love. Through our fraternal communion, we learn to bear one another's burdens as Christ would. Through our obedience to Christ through the Abbot, we learn to submit ourselves humbly as Christ submitted himself to the Father. This obedience and fraternal charity is the "grist for the mill" that forms us in the image of Christ.
