Membership in our community of
Lay Cistercians of Gethsemani Abbey is open to any Christian adult
who feels called to live a lay contemplative lifestyle in the spirit
of the Rule of St. Benedict and the Cistercian tradition. Our lay
community has an informal relationship with the Abbey of Gethsemani.
LCG members: The process to become a member of an LCG group begins when you contact a local community in your area. The local group will review your request, and, if accepted, invite you to enter the two-year discernment and formation process. For inquirers accepted as LCG candidates, as you begin the formation process, we will make an attempt to assign a mentor for you. The
mentor will serve as a spiritual companion and guide you through the
process. For more details, please click on the Discernment Process
page below. |
