RELOCATION
​
We are pleased to announce that we have purchased a house in Oceano, California as our new permanent location. Oceano borders Pismo Beach to the south and Arroyo Grande to the west. We are now in escrow with a closing date of April 8. This property allows us to hold our life of prayer while continuing in our prison ministry. We feel that God is calling us to a deeper sense of monastic poverty and simplicity as we continue in our life as monks.
The new CDL House of Prayer will be part of a larger co-housing community that offers wonderful community grounds, a large community gathering space for groups, a yoga studio, and community garden. The spirit of community feels like a natural fit for our Benedictine charism.
