The Shalom community are Christians who have discerned a calling from God to come to Shalom House of Prayer. Bound together by a desire and commitment to continue service under the original vision and charisms of Shalom House of Prayer and according to Gospel life.

We are a Lay community who do not take ‘vows’. We are not a monastic or a third order community and are in communion with the Catholic Church.

Most members live on site or can be living in their own homes. Most have weekday jobs. All members are expected to attend regular community meetings and be available on most weekends to serve those who are attending retreats or events at Shalom.

Members of the community of Shalom still have family commitments which have priority position. This movement between Shalom and family life does not compartmentalise or divide one from the other. Instead, the call to Shalom strengthens the living out of the gospel in all facets of life and acts as a witness to it.

 The freedom of community members to move in the wider community allows our greater awareness of the needs at this time in the world. By our deeds and our words, our active gospel lifestyle possibly raises awareness to the presence of Shalom, its charisms and its ministry of service.

We are always open to new members coming to join us. If you feel you have a calling to be part of this community please contact us to fully explore your calling.
