St. Augustine's House is a male Benedictine Lutheran monastery in Oxford Michigan USA. This monastery was built based on the Swedish monastery in Östanbäck which founded the Benedictine Lutheran community in 1960 by couple of students and in 1965 they have established that monastery.[1] Father Arthur Carl Kreinheder was the first prior of the St. Augustine's House monastery who founded the "The Congregation of the Servants of Christ” which is the official name of the monastic community. Current prior is Father John Cochran. Many have presupposed that Lutherans, as Protestants, don't have monasteries or monks/nuns but that is not the case.[2]
