The White-Robed Monks of St. Benedict

The mission of the White-Robed Monks of St. Benedict is to engender an atmosphere for healing the human experience wherein each person may realize his or her wholeness and holiness. To accomplish this, the monks offer the sacraments in general and specifically baptism and Catholic marriage ceremonies for the contemporary Catholic, the divorced Catholic, or the Catholic with special circumstances; incardination for Catholic clerics without a bishop; and monastic affiliation and network affiliation. The monks also provide various educational materials for those wishing to actively make the world a more compassionate place by opening the possibility for them to be more compassionate.
