Hello!

Thank you for taking time to learn about our community. As Benedictine women, we changed the membership boundaries of our "Catholics only" community to include Christian women of any denomination as full members.

Our community seeks God through a life following the Gospel and Rule of Benedict. We weave prayer, hospitality, justice and care for the earth into our daily life and ministry.

Sister Mary David Walgenbach, OSB
"Our ecumenical community
is a daily reminder that in Christ
we are one."

Sister Joanne Kollasch, OSB
"I love life in a monastic community
and share it with whomever I can."

Sister Lynne Smith, OSB
"My favorite community activity
is cooking Sunday night dinner together."
