In addition to caring on a permanent basis for 4 parishes, monks are currently assisting in 2 additional parishes in Oklahoma. Ordained monks residing at the monastery also travel throughout Oklahoma on weekends to assist with sacramental needs in the absence of adequate diocesan priests.

The National Institute for Developmental Delays (NIDD) and the Oklahoma Benedictine Institute on Mental Retardation (OBIMR) were founded in the late 1960's and continue to be led by Fr. Paul Zahler, O.S.B., who is assisted by Br. Isidore Hardin, O.S.B.. Through these programs, services are provided "from womb to tomb" for persons affected by various mental and physical development delays and disabilities. Thousands of children and adults - along with their families - are served by this work.
