St. Paul’s Fellowship of Labor is a nonprofit organization that provides opportunities to help religious communities, specifically monasteries and convents, through labor. We clean out, renovate, and develop monastic communities. The reach of this program is for the imagination to consider.  We are wherever there is a need and want for our labors.

In the spring of 2005, a group of young men traveled to the St. Gregory of Sinai's monastery in California.  The youths enjoyed hospitality from the monastery and in return provided labor.  The young men, all laymen, aided the monastic community through service work.  The experience was so positive, so refreshing, so reviving that members of that trip decided to mature the concept of service work for monastic communities into a formal program known as “St. Paul’s Fellowship of Labor (SPFL).”

We hope that you consider this program as an opportunity to travel, meet new people, make long lasting friendships, venerate holy places, and give back to an ancient practice of Christianity through labor.  We thank you for your interest, time, and support. Through the exchange of volunteers and monastics, foundations are built, bonds are created, and a future ensured. We hope to create an atmosphere that allows participants to clarify views, deepen understanding, and follow the logic and implications of their beliefs.
