A New Look, A Timeless Mission 

Have you noticed our new look on our website, social media, and in our emails? 

You may also have noticed our new logo — one that represents the many winding ways to Christ through the form of the crucifix.  

Our refreshed aesthetic reflects our renewed expression of what we have always been about: learning to see more clearly, love more deeply, and live more fully as we walk the contemplative path. 

This visual refresh is about creating a clearer, more accessible experience that helps our community engage more deeply with the wisdom that transforms lives and expands our capacity to be instruments of love in the world.  

We hope these changes enliven your experience of CAC’s programming and messaging.
