The Benedictines of Peace and Justice is a community of clergy and lay people who are dedicated to a monastic heritage in the Benedictine tradition by living lives of work and prayer in an extended community. The clergy and lay people of the Franciscan community are dedicated to Christ by following the example of the life of Saint Francis of Assisi. For more information click on the links below:
