We believe that the divine presence is everywhere . Rule of Benedict
We are the Catholic Benedictine Sisters of St. Mary Monastery.
Originally from Nauvoo, Illinois, the Benedictine Sisters moved to the
Quad-City area in 2001.
We serve in parishes, college campuses, homeless shelters, food pantries and in other ministries.
We also offer group and individual spiritual retreats at Benet House Retreat Center, where we welcome people of all faiths. Directions
As monastic Benedictine Sisters, we seek God together in monastic community.
Benedictine Sisters live together with the purpose of seeking and serving God as one.
Make plans for a winter or spring retreat!
Time for What Matters From the rising of the sun to its setting let the name of the Lord be praised. (Psalm 113) As the sun rises, so the light overspreads the land; we see. As the day grows into its fullness, so do we grow. And as evening approaches and the sun recedes, so do we prepare to rest. No matter what our sometimes-overtaxed minds tell us, indeed we do have time enough for all that matters. Blessings. Sister Joan' Kupfert, OSB 1921-2012
