What we do
The House of Bread Monastery is a Benedictine monastery that follows the Rule of St. Benedict. Their mission is to witness to a viable monastic life balancing personal and corporate prayer with Christian ministry. The Benedictine Sisters aim to deepen their spirituality according to the spirit of St. Benedict and share this with others. They live out their baptismal promises guided by the Gospel in this faith community.
The monastery is located in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, situated on Westwood Lake on Vancouver Island. From this location, they share their spirituality with those who live on Vancouver Island and beyond. The monastery has been a presence on Vancouver Island since 1974, when Bishop Remi J. De Roo requested Benedictines return to the area. They recently celebrated their 50th anniversary in January 2025.
The Benedictine Sisters engage in various programs and activities that reflect their values. They offer opportunities for Oblates—Christian men and women who deepen their spirituality according to St. Benedict's vision. Programs include formal study of Benedictine spirituality, prayer, sacred reading, and witnessing to Benedictine hospitality. Each sister offers a unique expression of Benedictine presence through her particular work. Their community emphasizes Eucharistic orientation, stewardship of their natural Island setting, and sharing the "bread" of Scripture with others.
