"Where love exists, it works great things. But where is ceases to act, it ceases to exist." - St. Gregory

NAECC Conference 2023 - Pallottine Center for Renewal, Florissant, Missouri

Welcome to NÆCC

Dedicated to fostering the fruits of the Gospel realized in many forms of community life

We represent a form of religious life in the Episcopal Church, rooted in the monastic tradition, which requires member communities to follow a Rule of Life and to be under appropriate ecclesial authority. While some of us practice a lifestyle similar to that of monastics, most follow our Rule while supporting ourselves and living in our own homes.

If you long to love God more deeply… to serve the Church and the world in significant ways… to find authentic, intentional Christian community… we invite you to share the journey with us.

2025 NÆCC Conference Announced

The 2025 NÆCC gathering will be at the Pallottine Center near St. Louis, May 19-22, 2025.

This year's conference features the "Tik Tok Nun," Sr. Monica Clare, who is the Superior of the Community of St John the Baptist, located in Mendham, NJ. She'll be discussing how to utilize communication tools, like social media, and how best to 'get the word out' about life as a Religious in an intentionally dispersed community.
