Your Stories: Livin' the monk life in St. Nazianz

Your Stories: A Wisconsin Video Series is a weekly video storytelling project from USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin.

Today's video from Sarah Kloepping introduces you to the monks of St. Nazianz. Behind the walls of Holy Resurrection Monastery in rural Manitowoc County, the 10 Eastern Catholic monks who reside there focus on a life of prayer. While their mission is the same, each monk is from a different state or country — including Australia, Canada and Ireland — and all of them have a story to tell about how they ended up in the village of St. Nazianz.
