“Love must act as light must shine and fire must burn.”
- Fr. James Huntington, OHC
We are a monastic community dedicated to prayer and prison ministry located in Oceano, California
"We are all on a shared sacred journey. Our individual paths may be diverse, but I am convinced that we are all geared to one destination – the realization of Love – the Love of God with God. There are many ways people interpret this mystical Presence in their own life experience. As Jalaluddin Rumi once said:
“There are a thousand ways to kneel down and kiss the ground.”
Many traditions have their own way of saying that all rivers lead to the ocean. I like the premise in Alcoholics Anonymous of “God as you understand God.” How welcoming that is! It is an open-door policy that invites all people into the circle of Love."

"I was in prison and you visited me."

"In 2004 I went to a monastery in Massachusetts and fell in love with the life of monastics. I found there a pattern of living that focused on loving God first above all else. Soon after I sold all my belongings and moved to California."
