Welcome to the Society
of Saint John the Evangelist
We are a community of men giving our whole selves over to living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Rooted in the ancient monastic traditions of prayer and community life, and critically engaged with contemporary culture, we seek to know and share an authentic experience of God’s love and mercy. We live a common life shaped by worship, prayer, and our Rule of Life.
We invite you to explore these pages to learn more about how we live and pray, the tradition that grounds us, and the call that draws us onward day by day.

Hypocrisy is right at the top of those things which make Jesus angry because he knows how very destructive it can be to a person. Keeping up appearances can grow into something corrosive to the soul. If we try to live a life of pretense, in order to be accepted or praised, we run the risk of losing our souls.
Br. Geoffrey Tristram, SSJE
