The Monastery of the Holy Spirit

Honey Creek Woodlands | Monastery of the Holy Spirit

The Monastery of the Holy Spirit is a community of more than 40 monks spanning several generations, who live, work, and pray together.

​

Here dwells a community where the age difference between the newest entrance and the most senior monk is 75 years of monastic life. Accordingly, in such a 'city' the sons reap the benefits of their elders' lived experiences and wisdom.

 

Once the monk has given his 'Yes' to the Lord's invitation to a life in which God is preferred before all else, he finds in the monastery a setting in which everything is structured to enkindle a remembrance of God.

 

The monastic practices foster an awareness of Christ's presence, the deep, abiding sense of His delightful companionship and His will to continue the work of the Father in us. The deep joy and peace experienced are the fruits of this friendship that overflow into the communal life he shares with his brothers.

​

The Abbey Church

The Abbey Church reflects a blend of modern and traditional elements. From the architectural style to the monk-made stained glass adorning its walls, the church showcases the Monastery’s vast history and changing community.
