Mission/Lineage: Mons Nubifer Sanctus is a place set apart for the meticulous study and practice of contemplative Christianity. We emphasize life-long, face-to-face spiritual companionship and mentorships, and a life daily inspired by the vision of God that reaches beyond a Sunday to Sunday obligation. Grounded in the fullness of the ancient faith, our programs are aimed at the realization of truly Christian character, the knowledge of God, and wakefulness to divine love.
