Our Community
Our Affiliations: Rooted in Faith, Connected to Community
St. Paul’s Monastery is deeply connected to the Catholic Church and the broader community through partnerships that support our mission of prayer, hospitality, and service. As a Benedictine monastic community, we are part of the Monastic Congregation of St. Benedict and guided by the Rule of St. Benedict. We collaborate with local Catholic and Protestant/Reformed parishes, local church ministries, and ecumenical organizations, fostering spiritual growth and service.
Our history and outreach extends to nonprofits, schools, and community groups, offering a sacred space for renewal. These affiliations strengthen our commitment to faith, education, and compassionate service for all who seek God’s presence in daily life.

Ministries of the Monastery
Mission-Driven Community Partnerships
The Sisters were empowered to make bold decisions over fourteen years of careful planning, with a spirit of deep prayer, and with the advice and help of people from outside our community. In 2009, the Sisters sold the monastery building to Tubman, an agency that provides safety for women and children. The Sisters sold some of their land to Common Bond which develops affordable housing. Common Bond built 48 townhomes and a 40-unit residence for seniors on the Monastery campus. The Sisters were happy to invite these two agencies, who along with the Monastery’s sponsored ministries, help the Monastery spread Gospel values in the spirit of St. Benedict and St. Scholastica. The Sisters are especially called to serve women, children and families in need.
