What do Monks do?

 
One of the questions we get asked is, "What do monks do?" The simple answer is that we pray and we work. This means that our day begins with prayer, we pray throughout the day, and our day ends with prayer. Through our prayer life we are able to serve the people of God in a variety of ways but our service is nothing without the power of surrender to God our Father in our prayer. Recently, (you may have seen this in our blog) Father Boniface Hicks, O.S.B. and Father Shawn Matthew Anderson, O.S.B. welcomed The Kings Men to St. Vincent College to speak with our students and to protest a local pornography store located close to our Campus. One of our students, Gabe Jakubisin, wrote about this experience in his St. Vincent College Blog. I invite you to read this devout young man's experience of standing up for the most vulnerable of our society. Click Here.
