They believe the orientation of the Rule of St. Benedict and their Swiss Benedictine heritage to be basically Eucharistic. Their community emphasizes this orientation by the choice of the name "House of Bread" to signify that they desire to be sacrament persons sharing the "bread" of Scripture and Eucharistic presence with others. Personal prayer and spiritual reading (Lectio) are values to be supported by the presence of an oratory, a library, and agreement concerning times and areas of quiet. Daily liturgically oriented corporate prayer is essential, as is shared responsibility for its preparation The community is mindful of their natural environment, and the need to call themselves to good stewardship of the natural gifts of God in their Island setting.
