These men and women are from all walks of life who desire to have a close link with the life and work of the Community. They make a Commitment to God, to the Community and to one another. Associates make a yearly commitment.

Together with the Community they form a network of love, prayer and service. They visit the Community, staying as they are able, to join in the worship, life and ministry of the house or for a time of rest or retreat for themselves.

A few Associates are beginning to explore living with the Community for a longer period.
