Saint Bede Monastery Members Transfer to Saint Benedict's Monastery
On August 15, 2010, the 28 members of Saint Bede Monastery in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, transferred their monastic professions to the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota. The Sisters will continue in Benedictine life as full members of the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict.
The private ceremony took place in the context of prayer and song. Sister Susan Hutchens, president of the Federation of St. Benedict, to which both monasteries belong, read the official decree transferring membership of all 28 Sisters to the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict. The ceremony was followed by a celebratory dinner in the monastic dining room.
