Domestic Picture Story
Located deep in the backwoods of central Illinois, a monastery of the Community of Saint John houses a handful of brothers – those who have given lifelong vows to the church. While most monasteries have a specific task, such as beer or bread making, this property serves as a house of formation. This is where young men take their first steps to becoming Brothers in the order. The brothers pray over five hours daily – eating and working in silence in between.

Brother Emmanuel mops the chapel, one of the daily chores taken on. Chores at the monastery mirror those in any home – washing dishes, lawn mowing and mopping floors. Side by side the brothers and postulants spend two to three hours each afternoon doing physical labor, just one of the many encounters old and young have daily.

Brothers Josef, left, Hugh-Mary, and Emmanuel eat dinner as the setting sun casts golden light into the Monastery's dining area. The brothers eat and work in silence, speaking only when required – the most talking encountered is in the chapel during Mass and the prayer offices.

Brother Josef prays before eating dinner. Josef is an oblate of the Community of St. John, meaning he is dedicated to a religious life, but never took full monastic vows.
