Do you have a longing for meaningful and stable relationships, a sense of belonging?

Do you hunger for a deeper spiritual life?

Are you willing to take a risk?

We invite you to consider what it means to be a Sister in a monastic community today. For us, at Saint Benedict's Monastery, it means being a part of one of the largest and oldest Benedictine communities in the United States. It means being able to live with other women who share a deep love of God and of others.

On this page we've posted some videos and links to articles to introduce you to our community. Take time to explore these pages and other resources on this site, and contact us at any time if you'd like more information.

New! We have two new videos from the 2009 final profession of Sister Trish Dick on our Web site. To view them, click here and scroll to the bottom of the page.

We invite you to join us on this journey.
