The Monks of Our Lady of Guadalupe Abbey and the Sisters of Mother of Mercy and Peace continue the long history of Benedictine life going back to St. Benedict, a founder of monasticism in the western world. St. Benedict (480-547 A. D.) envisioned and modeled a way of life designed to foster continual communion with God. He saw a pattern of this life in the first Christian community in Jerusalem. "They devoded themselves to teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers" (Acts 4:32). In his Rule for Monasteries, St. Benedict laid down practical teachings and guidelines for this vision to be realized. The monks and sisters of Pecos have embraced this vision of St. Benedict, while giving it a unique expression.

HERMITAGES
Opened since February, 1997, the four "Patti Brewer Hermitages" have been occupied for varying lengths of time from a few days to more than a month. Our hermits enjoy breathtaking vistas of the canyon, the possibility of cooking for themselves, and a quiet atmosphere. Located in a single building, each unit is self contained, with its own sitting area, picture windows, desk, kitchenette, bed, bathroom and closet. The hermitages are ideal for guests who want more solitude. |
