A Community inspired by
the monastic tradition

.

Rooted in the meditation of the Word of God and attentive to the traditions of the Church, in their search to develop a community life led by the Spirit, the first sisters returned to the basics. Through the friendship and support of Anglican, Orthodox and Catholic communities, they rediscovered the stream of monastic life. Thus they carried within them, from the beginning, a concern for prayer for the unity of the Church.

In 1952 the first sisters committed themselves for life. Shortly thereafter they adopted the rule of Taizé and its daily Offices as the basis for their life in community and liturgical prayer.
