Benedictine Sisters Seek God Together
Your way of acting should be different from the world’s way. Rule of Benedict

As Catholic Benedictine Sisters, we live together to seek and serve God, and all God’s creation. We practice hospitality, and welcome everyone as Jesus Christ. We value simplicity. We live by the Gospel, the Rule of Benedict and our tradition. We share all things in common: everyday life, material goods, joys and sorrows, hopes and prayers. We follow a distinctive rhythm of prayer and work.

Our lives are hinged on our common prayer.

We invite you to learn about who we are and what we do. Read our discernment newsletter, Steps. Visit our Web site for information on our prayer life, our ministries and our history. We also have included stories about some of our Sisters. And we have created a video to help you experience our life. For more information, please contact us.
