Welcome to Oblate Mike

I'm Mike Gurak and I'm a Benedictine Oblate. I created this site to share my thoughts on what it means to be a Benedictine and on Christianity in general. I also want to keep people updated on what's going on with Benedictines and especially my monastery and deanery. I'm still figuring out the best way to do that though.

You can find out a little about me on the About Me page.If you have any questions or commentds about anything on this site, including questions about Benedictines and the Rule of Benedict, please contact me.
