THE ATHONITE BENEDICTINE FATHERS ARE A TRADITIONAL OLD CALENDAR, SEMI CLOISTERED, WESTERN RITE COMMUNITY OF STRICT OBSERVANCE.
OUR MISSION IS TO HEAL THE INFRACTION; TO RESTORE THE COMMUNION BETWEEN GOD AS CREATOR AND MAN AS HIS CREATION THROUGH THE PROCESS OF VIVIFYING THE NEOTIC FACULTY WITHIN THE HEART.
THROUGH AN ORTHODOX PHRONEMA WE CAN ATTAIN DEIFICATION THROUGH THEOSIS. IF THE NOUS IS DARKENED BY THE WORLD, THE MIND WILL BE CARNAL. IF THE NOUS IS ILLUMINATED, THE MIND WILL BE SPIRITUAL. OUR NOUS MUST BE THE NOUS OF CHRIST. THE INACTIVITY OR NON FUNCTION OF THE NEOTIC FACULTY ENSLAVES MAN TO MATERIALISM AND LEADS MAN TO WORSHIP THE CREATION RATHER THAN THE CREATOR.
OUR MONASTERY IS A POWERHOUSE OF PRAYER WHERE EXPLOITATION AND SELF PROMOTION SURRENDER TO THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND FRATERNITY.
IF YOU WISH TO WORSHIP THE FATHER "IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH" YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US WITH THE LATIN ORTHODOX MASS ON SUNDAY AT 8:00 A.M.
