Our Mission
We, the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minn., are a monastic community of women who seek God in our daily lives according to the Gospel and the Rule of Benedict. Through our ministry of prayer, work and community living, we listen and respond to the needs of the Church and the world.
Prayer Requests
As a Benedictine monastic community, a significant part of our mission is prayer. Is there someone or something you would like us to pray for? You’re invited to share your special intentions with us. You will be remembered during our daily prayer of Liturgy of the Hours, and your request will be shared on a community bulletin board seen by the sisters every day.
It is our privilege to pray for you. God bless you!
Daily Meditations
/in Daily Meditations/by Amanda HackettOur team of writers are going to take a break for the summer. Some will be vacationing and seeing new sights; others will have leisure time with family and friends; and several will have new community roles. We hope to be personally refreshed and will be back with you in September. Psalm 37 advises us: “Trust God and do good, settle down and be at peace. Delight in the Lord, who satisfies your heart.” This is our wish for you this summer.
