Work & Apostolate
The Rule sets down no particular apostolate other than to seek God, to be fervent in the work of God, in humiliations and obedience. Coupled with this is the Rule's great adaptability to cultures and locale.

Our Extended Family
Benedictine Oblates
Oblates of St Benedict are people associated in a special way with a Benedictine monastery.
They commit themselves to living the spirit of the Rule of St Benedict in their own state of life,
as lay people, or even clerics, living in the world rather than in the monastery.
