Brother Benny’s Bakery opened in February with much anticipation and delight. This teachable bakery offers our Brothers Christopher the opportunity to learn baking skills and so much more!

St. Christopher’s Inn is saving lives. Thousands have walked the Holy Mountain seeking healing from addiction. But its mission also extends beyond these hallowed grounds, leading the fight against one of our nation’s greatest crises.

Through a powerful combination of spoken word and song, Reckless Son humanizes the experience of the incarcerated by giving them a voice and telling their stories of hope, forgiveness, and self-discovery.

In September, in honor of National Recovery Month, students from Roy C. Ketcham High School in Wappingers Falls, New York – located 19 miles from Graymoor – spread kindness and hope to the men at St. Christopher’s Inn

On Sunday, September 30, close to 500 of our neighbors, including Friars, Sisters and staff from St. Christopher’s Inn and FOA participated in the 3rd Annual “Be the Bridge: Walk for Recovery” in Poughkeepsie, NY.

New Evangelization Television (NET) recently featured a video and blog about St. Christopher’s Inn on their website. Hear the moving stories of the men seeking healing.

The Tablet, the newspaper of the Diocese of Brooklyn, recently featured the Friars’ ministry at St. Christopher’s Inn. In her article, Paula Katinas explores the Friars’ approach to addiction recovery and its blessings in men’s lives.

Every summer, men in formation at Graymoor, home to the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, are called to do a service project. It’s a great way for a Friar to learn about himself, the Friars of the Atonement community and committing oneself to religious life.

This May, the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement are observing Mental Health Awareness Month, a day our nation needs now more than ever.
