Community

The Heart of Hospitality 
is in Our Culture and in Our Souls

Our days are a balance of prayer, community, and ministry....that in all things, God may be glorified. 


We live in a Community under the leadership of an elected Prioress; we receive and share the Benedictine charism expressed in the Prologue of Rule of St. Benedict.


Impelled by the Gospel and "seeking Christ before all else," we are involved in and committed to the communities in which we live and minister. 



We strive to use our gifts with and for others and to bear witness to Gospel values.
