The mission of Mt. Irenaeus is to join with Jesus Christ in “making all things new!” (Revelation 21:5)
Rooted in the (Catholic) Franciscan tradition, the Mt. Irenaeus community is committed to simple, joyful, healing communion with God and all creation through contemplation and the communal experience of God’s justice, love and peace in contemporary everyday life. Life at Mt. Irenaeus is centered on attending to what is primary: presence to God, others, one’s self, and the earth. All who participate in the mission of the mountain join with jesus in making all things new by creating and nourishing a community that transcends a particular place, opening to all peoples, ages and cultures.
