The monastic spirit of St Benedict finds a new calling in the heart of Africa

Life in the Congo according to St Benedict

Where unrest and recurring Ebola disease make life hazardous. In Butembo, part of the monastery has been built and a chapel. We always welcome funds to aid these projects but more importantly we always look forward to receiving containers loaded with essential machinery and equipment. 

 We also have started a school and there are technical courses, especially in woodwork, to help students find work. The school is in urgent need of new classrooms. Each classroom costs around A$15,000.
