The Community of Jesus, located on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, is an ecumenical community in the Benedictine tradition. At the heart of the Community's ministry is the witness of its common life, the worship of God, and the work of creativity expressed through the arts, in the publishing of books and music, and through the visual and performing arts.

Members of the Community come from many walks of life and various church backgrounds, mostly Protestant and some Roman Catholic. The Community is comprised of families with children, as well as 25 celibate Brothers, and 60 celibate Sisters, altogether about 270 people.

Members of the Community make professions of commitment according to their "Rule of Life," living their monastic vocation under the direction of a Superior, and gathering each day for Holy Eucharist, and the Liturgy of the Hours (sung in Gregorian chant).
