Seeking a Vocation?
Everyone is called by God to live a Christ-centered life.
All life choices—marriage, the single life, religious life, and holy orders—serve as a call to holiness and service to God’s People. If you are seeking something more in your life, you may have a calling to vowed monastic life. The God you seek is also seeking you.

SISTERS' STORIES
Benedictines follow The Rule of St. Benedict. Monastic profession includes vows of obedience, stability, and conversion of life. These vows include celibacy and simplicity of life. We live under the leadership of a Prioress, in a community with mutual listening, respect and understanding for one another. We are part of a worldwide community of Benedictines with a 1500-year-old tradition. The Stages of Formation: [/row] [/content_box]
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” “My ministry and service was always to meet the practical needs of a Parish or other religious facility.” “So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, to the sound of the horn, trumpets and cymbals, and made loud music on harps and lyres.”
