As we ourselves come from many different cultures, it's always a great joy for us to share the essential aspects of our lives with people from all over the world: prayer, working, seeking wisdom and fraternal charity.

In our monastery there's always maintenance work, repairs and tidying up to do, and in the garden there's the vegetable garden, trees, vines and flowers to look after. We welcome any help we can get in the house, in the garden and in our workshops.
