Religious Communities In The Parish Minimize
The Grey Robe Monks of St. Benedict - Sacramento Priory

 

We are an ecumenical order following the Rule of St. Benedict.  The Order was established as a monastery-without-walls in that the members engage in secular work, some have families, all live independently.  As indicated by our Charter, the Order is open to women and men - single, married/partnered - who seek a deeper relationship with God as Creator, Savior, and Sanctifier.  As a community we develop this deeper relationship by gathering for the liturgy of the hours - Opus Dei, lectio divina - prayerful meditation of biblical texts, study of the Rule of Benedict, and celebration of the Eucharist.  We also engage in works of service to our worship communities and the secular community as well.  The Grey Robes meet at 6:30 PM every Wednesday at: Harmony Church, 3449 2nd Avenue, Sacramento  (corner of 35th Street and 2nd Ave. in Oak Park).  For more information, please contact:
Bob Hart, OSB at: bob.osb@GoodShepherdCommunity.org or our website www.grosb.org.
