Sons of the Covenant Monastery
Sons of the Covenant Monastery is a Chaldean Catholic men's monastery of eparchial right, located in El Cajon, California. It is part of the Eparchy of St. Peter the Apostle[2][3] and is dedicated to a life of contemplative prayer, community life, and service to the faithful of the eparchy.[4] The monastery maintains an open prayer policy, allowing the public to participate in their communal prayer sessions, reflecting their commitment to communal unity. The monks also engage in various duties based on their talents, including pastoral services at St. John Chaldean Catholic Church,[5] youth ministry, sacristan duties, and church maintenance. In 2023, two brothers professed their final vows in the Chaldean order of monks known as the Sons of the Covenant, further enriching the Eparchy of St. Peter in San Diego.[6]
