Downtown Monks, originally published in 2000, was the first book by Albert Holtz and tells the story of the challenges facing a community of Benedictine monks in their ministry of running a boys’ school amid the gritty realities of inner-city life in Newark, New Jersey. Father Holtz’s story remains an inspiration for readers and also serves as a model for
Christian living and discernment using Benedictine disciplines.
