The Brothers and Sisters of Charity was founded by John Michael Talbot in 1980.
It is a Catholic-based community of celibate brothers, celibate sisters, single persons who can marry, and families. They share common work and recreation areas while retaining appropriate separate cloistered areas.
From John Talbot:
"Our primary founder is Jesus, our primary rule is Scripture, and love is our primary law.
We are called by God to seek this life through the profession of the evangelical counsels, poverty, chastity and obedience. We hold dear substantial silence, substantial solitude, prayer and penance."
The hermitage is supported by donations and their Little Portion Bakery:
"Our products are some of the healthiest and tastiest that have come from any monastic bakery in this country! We think this bakery leads us to Jesus, the Bread of Life through an integration of holy simplicity and godly quality."

The early history of the Cathedral parish began with the coming to Little Rock of the priests from the Diocese of St. Louis. According to church records, the first Mass celebrated in Little Rock was celebrated by Fr. Peter Donnelly in 1830, in a room over Dugan's Store at 2nd and Main Streets. As the number of Catholics grew, a building on East Markham near Third Street was later used for religious purposes. In 1839, Fr. Joseph Richard Bole and Fr. Paris were sent to Little Rock to build a permanent structure on the grounds formerly occupied by the Arcade Building between 6th and 7th Streets on Louisiana.
