Our hEAVENLY PATRONS
Our PATRON SAINTS
Our Monastery has five special patron saints whose holy lives and practices we follow:
The contemplative life of St. Teresa of Ávila, the positive attitude of St John of the Cross towards suffering, the spirit of poverty and the simple life of St. Francis Assisi, the asceticism and deliverance powers of St. Benedict who had authority over evil powers, and the life of penance and Marian devotion of St. Dominic who worked tirelessly for the conversion of heretics and to defend the faith.
