The Servants of God of St. Augustine seek to serve the Church and the wider community in ways that flow naturally from our life of prayer.
People sometimes come to the monastery seeking spiritual support, practical guidance, trustworthy Catholic resources, or help finding an organization better equipped to respond to a particular need. As our community is able, we seek to listen, accompany, and help connect people with appropriate resources.
Our monastery is not a social-service agency, medical provider, legal office, or emergency-response organization. The assistance we can provide depends on the nature of the request and the availability of our community. When a need falls outside our role or capacity, we may help identify a more appropriate organization or service.
Many people first encounter the monastery because they are looking for prayer, spiritual encouragement, or someone with whom they can speak about a difficult situation.
Our pastoral support may include:
For prayer requests, Mass intentions, or other pastoral matters, please visit our Prayer & Mass Intentions → page.
Not every need can be met directly by the monastery.
When appropriate, we seek to help visitors identify trustworthy organizations, ministries, and public resources that may be better prepared to assist them.
This may include resources related to:
The monastery does not guarantee services provided by outside organizations. We encourage visitors to contact each organization directly to confirm eligibility, availability, costs, and current services.
We also want our website to serve as a helpful starting point for people who want to deepen their Catholic faith.
Resources on Sacred Scripture, Catholic teaching, prayer, liturgy, and the life of the Church in the United States.
Information about the Catholic Church in Central Florida, including parishes, diocesan ministries, events, formation opportunities, and pastoral resources.

Articles and resources addressing questions about Catholic teaching, Scripture, Church history, and apologetics.
Catholic television, radio, news, devotional programming, and educational resources.
A large online collection of Catholic reference materials, including the Catholic Encyclopedia, writings of the Church Fathers, and theological resources.
Additional trusted resources may be added as our ministries and community partnerships develop.
Our monastery is located in DeLand, Florida, and we have a particular desire to be of service to Catholics and others in our surrounding community.
Whenever possible, we seek to strengthen connections between people and the parishes, ministries, charitable organizations, and community services already doing important work in Central Florida.
We believe that service is often most effective when organizations work together rather than attempt to address every need alone.
An important expression of our wider commitment to service is our relationship with St. James Institute.
Through St. James Institute, educational, charitable, and formation initiatives seek to accompany young people and communities through opportunities for education, personal development, and service.
Because this work has its own mission and programs, we invite visitors to learn more on the dedicated St. James Institute page.
If you are looking for spiritual support, Catholic resources, or information about community services, you are welcome to contact us.
Please describe your request as clearly as possible so that we can determine whether the monastery can assist directly or suggest another resource.

We may not always have the ability to solve the difficulties people bring to us, but we can seek to receive them with respect, pray for their needs, and help them find a next step when possible.
For us, this is part of the Augustinian call to practical love of neighbor.
Prayer turns our hearts toward God, and charity turns us toward one another.
“Where charity and love are, there is God.”
