As a community of Benedictine monastic women, we listen and respond to the needs of the Church and the world, feeding the spiritual hungers of those near and far. With your support, we can feed as many as possible, no matter whether they live next door or across the world.
How do we feed these hungers? Enjoy a taste and sample just a few of our spiritual ministries:
Seek peace and renew your soul at the Spirituality Center•Studium. You can participate in a program or retreat, engage in spiritual direction with a certified spiritual director, work on a project in Studium, our scholar’s program, or enjoy solitude in a hermitage. There are many opportunities for rest and enrichment for all.
“We so enjoyed our time at the Spirituality Center and warm Benedictine hospitality.”
“Wonderful place to be—sensed the love of God in a peaceful, welcoming way.”
“So wonderful! I felt cared for even though my time was spent in solitude. This place is a gift.”
We are a community that cares about you. We pray with you; we pray for you. You are invited to share your prayer requests with us any time.
“Thank you for your warm response. Though we are thousand miles as I live here in the Philippines, I truly feel the love and mercies of Christ in you.”
“Thank you so much for all of the prayers during the most difficult time in our lives.”
“Thank you so much for the personal response. Your note gives me a great deal of comfort, and as a fellow believer in the awesome power of prayer, hope."
3G is a Catholic summer camp for young women to learn about Benedictine values, the sisters’ way of life, make lifelong memories with old and new friends, and strengthen their faith. Campers often return year after year.
“My favorite part of camp, by far, was spending time with the sisters! When you spend time with them, you leave with a greater and deeper appreciation of both everyday life and God’s love for each and every one of us!”
“I enjoyed learning more about my faith and God.”
You are invited to join us for daily prayers, Mass, and other special occasions. Part of our commitment as Benedictines is the daily rhythm of prayer and work. We pray Liturgy of the Hours three times each day, participate in Eucharist several times each week, and observe special feast days throughout the year.
Women religious from other countries hunger for knowledge, growth and deep exploration through higher education. Through welcoming students who have received tuition scholarships at CSB+SJU to live with our community, we’re able to help support them. It all comes full circle as these women use their gifts and new knowledge to feed the hungers of others!
These are just some of the ways we are currently responding to the needs of the world—but, times change, and people’s spiritual hungers change, too. Partner with us to help us change with the times and feed the hungers of the day.
Thank you to our friends and supporters who have already given nearly $40,000 in incentive gifts to encourage others. We are grateful for your support!
