The monks of the Abbey of Our Lady of Montserrat in Manila and its dependent houses in Alabang and Malaybalay have dedicated themselves to the following of Jesus Christ within the tradition of Benedictine monasticism as found in the Catholic Church. As part of this tradition they strive to seek God in all things. They do this principally

through prayer, which they offer both in common and in solitude and which issues from an attentive listening to the Lord addressing men, above all in the Scriptures;
through a life together which is marked by simplicity, celibacy, obedience, stability in this one community, and loving service to one another.
and through work, especially in education, spiritual guidance, hospitality and agriculture, by which they seek to share with others the love and knowledge of God and his creation which they have received.
