Visit St. Mary Monastery in Rock Island, Ill., and you’ll see joyful industry everywhere. Tiny shoots of green are pushing their way through the softening earth. Deer, geese, hawks and all woodland creatures are preparing nests and dens for their young. Inside, the Sisters are preparing for the glorious Easter season. Here’s a sampling of what you might see at St. Mary Monastery, Rock Island, Illinois, if you visit now.

Dear Sisters,
I don’t know if you remember me or not, but I am one of the ladies that worked for you when you first moved to Rock Island. I was acquainted with Sr. Charlotte Sonneville prior to working for you. Anyhow, you have some very nice photos of the monastery. It’s as lovely as when it was first built. You are all very much in my heart, & I pray for you each & every day. I have never forgotten you. Please email me at mia_west04@hotmail.com. I would love to keep in contact with you again.
Hi Vicki, How wonderful to hear from you! I have passed your message on to Srs. Charlotte and Phyllis. If there is another sister you would like to communicate with, let me know and I’ll make sure she gets it. Blessings!
Which Sister am I talking to here? Anyway, it’s great to hear from you too. I tried to email all of you at your main email addresses, but hotmail required Outlook to do so, in which I cannot figure out how to do for the life of me. So, I switched over to gmail & installed Incredimail as a result. Hopefully, that will make a difference. It should anyhow. I am keeping the gmail address, & would love to hear from any sister that remembers me, or would like to keep in touch with me.
Vicki, Try emailing Benedictines@smmsisters.org and see if that works for you!
