About Heartsong Hermitage

Ecumenical Benedictines of Heartsong Hermitage was established January 1,1996 as a place of prayer and we have remained true to that commitment. The Hermitage and its associates continue doing the work that transforms our world while caring for the people of God and all creation.

Life in Christ demands a continual listening to the spirit with a response that takes into account the times we are living. We believe God has called us together from different Christian traditions to be a living testimony to God's purpose without dogma, doctrinal, racial or socio-economic conflict, "so that all may be one"..

We live with The Rule of Benedict as our guide. Our unchanging focus rmains on the living of Gospel values and sharing of the Gospel message.

Our desire is to present the Word in the living, breathing spirit of Jesus Christ. We do not enter into the fray that idolizes the reasoning of man. We are Word, Sacrament and prayer.

Over the years our ministry has taken us to various part of the globe in mission, preaching and teaching, from hospice to the streets and state prisons.

We continue to affirm our commitment to ecumenism under the omophore of Orthodox Bishops.

One God,
