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.

It’s not just that Jesus creates wine from water at the wedding at Cana, it’s that he creates wine in abundance. What was previously lacking now fills jugs to the brim, and is of the finest quality. Jesus’ establishment of a new creation is not just enough, or sufficient, but vastly beyond what is expected, encompassing all, welcoming all in.
Br. Lain Wilson, SSJE
