The "One Bread, One Cup" College Ministerial Internship Program is a summer internship opportunity for college students. The internship offers young adults throughout North America an opportunity to participate and be formed in Benedictine tradition.
During the internship, the interns live in an intentional Christian community at a Roman Catholic monastery while studying and ministering at its seminary and school of theology. Interns serve as staff, catechists, and theological reflection group leaders during the "One Bread, One Cup" Summer Conferences.
Interns participate in the daily liturgical life of the Roman Catholic Church and experience a balance of theory and practice in a purposeful Catholic Christian community. Often, participants earn academic credit by completing a required internship or arranging for an independent study.
