Places I encourage you to consider,

PAX + ABBEY OSB

Pax + Abbey is a Benedictine Monastic Community of the Order of Saint Benedict of Christ's Apostolic Catholic Church. It is a "monastery without walls" whose members strive to live the Gospel with the Rule of Saint Benedict as our guide as monks in the world, but not of the world. Professed and Lay membership is open to all, without regard to age, gender, marital status, or sexual orientation.
