“Cast your care upon God for He watches over you, and will not forget you. Do not think that He leaves you alone.”
(St. John of the Cross, Letter 21)

Is Our Lord calling your heart, to keep Him company daily in the Most Blessed Sacrament, to love Him and save souls in union with Him?

Are you looking for ‘something more’ in your life? Come and join us in our beautiful vocation!

Prayer:

Lord, let me know clearly the work which You are calling me to do in life, and grant me every grace I need to answer Your call with courage and love, and lasting dedication to Your will. + Amen.

Our Monastery is located about 20 miles northeast of Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a tiny, picturesque farming area called Parnell. Our mailing address is Ada.

We are just west of the historic St. Patrick’s Church with its tall steeple, which we can see illuminated at night from our monastery.

“In the Evening of life, you will be judged on Love”
