I'm Joann Hothersall,a transferee from another community. I was drawn to St. Benedict's Monastery by their very strong life of prayer and community. Presently, I'm in my first year of incorporation, being immersed in St. Benedict's Ways: Spirituality, History, Rule and Norms. I am beginning my ministry of working with Mercy Behavioral Health in the area of helping adults with disabilities either in a residential or work setting.
