Biographical / historical:

The Monastery of the Risen Christ was a Benedictine Monastery that started as a “mission” from Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery, Pecos, New Mexico in 1987 by Fr. Ray Roh OSB. The communities participated in the Catholic Charismatic renewal. The Monastery was located on a 40 acre ranch just outside San Luis Obispo. In 1992, the Monastery became an independent, canonical entity, and Abbot David Geraets, OSB (d.2012) became Superior. Membership and lack of resources declined the activities of the Monastery. By March 2013, the Olivetan Congregation decided to close Monastery. The Monastery transferred to the Camaldili Congregation in Big Sur, CA in 2014. Members included Abbot David Geraets, Father Ray, Fr. Stephen Odenbrett, Fr. Albert Meyer, Fr. Ray Greco (retired), Brother Alfonso Daniel OSB, Junior Monk, Connie Mayrhofer and Br. Michael Rodgers, Junior Monk.
