After sixty years of living in a Cistercian community, Michael Casey combines his down-to-earth observations about the joys and challenges of living in community with an appreciation of the deeper meanings of cenobitic life, taking into account the changes in both theory and practice that have occurred in his lifetime. He invites his readers, especially monks and nuns, to reflect on their own experiences of community as a means of seeing a path forward into the future.


Many of the key components of monastic community have kept the same names for more than a millennium. In an age of paradigm shift, Michael Casey invites readers to examine these essential practices of community life and to ask how they might be envisioned in a way that speaks to our contemporaries.

What Our Visitors are Saying


​Not Catholic? Don't let that stop you. The experience is universal. Brother Joseph's miniatures capture Western even some eastern images. The out door setting invites thought and meditation. Bells reminded me of a call for prayer in Cairo. The birds will gladden any nature lover's heart. Peaceful for those who yearn for it but no doubt punctuated by Catholic tradition and artifacts: December 2019

Beautiful place! The staff is helpful and courteous. The gift shop has a very nice variety of religious items.: December 2019
