Our Mission

The Cedars Ascetical Center seeks to be a conduit for the teachings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, a solace for those seeking spiritual direction, and encouragement for those seeking discipleship to our Lord Jesus Christ through Liturgical Prayer in the Eastern Catholic Traditions and Spiritual Retreats.  Under the Patronage of Our Lady of Lebanon, we promote the Prayer of the Heart, a return to more rigorous fasting and incorporating the Liturgical Cycle of the Church in our everyday life.
