It is the tradition of the monks to work and pray. To this end, besides daily prayers, the monks also engage their day with the work of sustaining the monastery through daily labour or diverse kind and meeting some of the needs of the needy that come to the monastery.

The monastic engagement in economic activities is not primarily for profit making or wealth acquisition but primarily for sustenanceof the monastery and service of the needy as far as possible. This paradigm is reflected in the Rule of St Benedict chapter 57:

The above consist of the core major source of income for the monks. Due to the enormous cost of running a monastery right from admitting an individual into the monastery going through years of formation required by the Canon Law (Chruch Law), the monks welcome donations for support from inviduals and groups in order to meet its material and other obligations.
