Society of St. John the Evangelist

The Monastery, Society of Saint John the Evangelist Monks of the New Century

Offering silence and sanctuary,
Guidance in prayer and spirituality,
And a vision for wholeness.

Our Vision

We are a community of men giving our whole selves over to living the gospel of Jesus Christ. Rooted in the ancient monastic traditions of prayer and community life, and critically engaged with contemporary culture, we seek to know and share an authentic experience of God’s love and mercy.

Silence and Sanctuary

We offer our monasteries as places of silence, sanctuary, and simple beauty, renewing them to meet changing needs. At home and wherever we minister, we accept and welcome all who come, including them in our worship, meals, and fellowship.

Guidance in Prayer and Spirituality

We offer guidance through preaching, teaching, retreats, workshops, and spiritual direction. We are especially available to students and others at critical stages of life formation, and to those whose vocation is the formation of others. Through Cowley Publications, we encourage people to think and pray in new ways about spirituality, reconciliation, and the future.

A Vision for Wholeness

We serve a wide spectrum of people, from the disempowered and marginalized to the influential and privileged. We are ministers of reconciliation, hope, and transformation. Our work helps people uncover their deepest desires, live with authenticity, and discover their place in the heart of God.
