Society/Daughters of Our Mother of Peace

The Society of Our Mother of Peace was founded in 1966 by Fr. Placid Guste. Our spirituality is based on the Gospel and St. John of the Cross with special emphasis on evangelical poverty and simplicity. Our life is primarily contemplative, with a stress on silence and solitude. At the heart of our life is daily Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, and recreation in common. Our two direct spiritual apostolates are door -to-door evangelization and helping others to deepen their spiritual life through personal direction and private retreats.

We are located in Springfield and High Ridge, Missouri, with recent foundations in the Philippines and Nigeria. Ages 20 to 45 are welcome to apply (older candidates may be considered). You are invited to schedule a visit.
