We are a monastic community dedicated to prayer and prison ministry located in Oceano, California
We acknowledge that we live on the traditional territory and homelands of the yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini (ytt) Northern Chumash people, the first peoples of San Luis Obispo County, who are still here, and we honor with gratitude the land itself and the life of the Chumash Tribe. By acknowledging the land we seek to undo the intentional erasure of indigenous peoples.
