Seeking God in Community
May Christ bring us all together to
everlasting life.
Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 72
Our small community is family-like for
here the young and the old, of varying personalities, abilities and skills live,
pray and work together. Stability marks our life for we enter and remain here,
sharing together the joys of consecrated life in a community and supporting one
another in the fidelity to our monastic vows.
Bofore a woman enters, we invite her to spend time with us
to discern whether God is calling her to a monastic way of life at our
monastery. The time of formation includes postulancy (1 year), novitiate (2
years), and time in temporal vows (3 years). At the end of this time the Sister
consecrates herself in Solemn Vows to God and unites herself forever to her
community.
