The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Peace strive to live a communal live guided by the Rule of Saint Benedict with an apostolic outreach. Concretely, this means that our life centers around singing the Divine Office in community, with other monastic values of silence, prayerful reading (lectio divina), study and manual labor. At the same time, part time forays to lecture, teach or give retreats in schools or parishes are a positive way we can contribute to building up the Body of Christ through evangelization in the 21st century. 687 Moss Road, Rutherfordton, NC 28139 704-827-2490 qopbenedictines@gmail.com
