John Baptist Santa Ana, who is a monk in the Benedictine Order at St Andrew’s Abbey in California, and a student at the University of Notre Dame studying Greek Patristics. Over the course of our conversation, Br. John Baptist talks with us about his personal journey into becoming a Benedictine monk, what life as a monk is like and what is distinctive about the Benedictine Order, and how he views monasticism as a specific calling and vocation given by God.
