South Florida Lay Cistercians

South Florida Lay Cistercians Laity in South Florida living the gospel... A way of humility and conversion born in the spiritual tradition of the Cistercians.

Founded in 1998, the South Florida Lay Cistercians are affiliated with Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Monastery in Conyer’s GA. We meet once a month at Saint Jude Catholic Church in Boca Raton. Sister Lillian Shank, OCSO is our monastic liason; she has been a Cistercian nun for over 50 years and lives in Florida as a hermit with permission from her abbey, Our Lady of the Mississippi, near Dubuque, Io

wa. Our regular meeting day is the second Saturday of each month and it begins with mass in the parish church followed by lauds, a conference taught by Sister Lillian, lectio divina, and sext. Our lunch break gives us an oppotunity to catch up with personal news about members and information about group functions. After lunch we break into smaller groups making use of an educational program meant to incorporate Cistercian values and prayer into our daily lives using the Cistercian monastic writings and examples as an aid. We make an annual group retreat at Holy Spirit Monastery as part of our formation program.
