Ordinary Women: Writing Stories of Extraordinary Love, Endurance, and Creativity

Many of us are blessed to have in our lives ordinary women who never made headlines, won prizes, or had movies made about them. They are our mothers, grandmothers, teachers, aunts, friends. In this writing workshop, we will tell the mostly untold stories of these extraordinary women. This retreat will take place in person Saturdays, October 2, 9, 16.

Message From the Prioress

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.” Proverbs 3:13

We’ve reached that time of year when school starts. Here at Saint Benedict’s Monastery, we’re looking forward to welcoming back College of Saint Benedict students to the campus. We ask you to join us in praying for students everywhere that they may listen, learn and grow in wisdom and understanding.
