As a community, the stability of monastic life is a delicate balance between the common good and the wellbeing of each brother. However, the main objective of our community is to remain focused on the wellbeing of others and most notably on those in need.

The community makes donations to many worthwhile causes, but also welcomes people to Saint Honorat. On average 30–35 people each day make the trip in order to recharge their batteries and take time for prayer and quiet reflection.

The dynamic of our community is based on loving and helping one and another; for this reason the Abbey de Lérins set up the le Clos de la Charité (www.closdelacharité.fr).

This aim of this foundation is to promote and share the joy of giving: there is more joy in giving than in receiving.
