Where do Sisters work?

Sisters are involved in a variety of ministries: caring for the earth, visiting the sick, producing art, working in hospitals and homes for the elderly, promoting peace and justice, teaching in colleges, high school and elementary schools, growing food to share with the poor, working in our parishes and so much more.

Where do Sisters live?

Sacred Heart Chapel—This is where the Sisters come together to celebrate the Eucharist.

Oratory—The Sisters come together and pray here. They pray the “Liturgy of the Hours” three times each day.

Blessed Sacrament Chapel—This is a sacred space where the Sisters and their visitors come for individual, quiet prayer.

Gathering Place—This is the room where visitors and guests enter when they come to the monastery. It is a space to congregate and talk with others.

Community Room—The Sisters meet here to receive their mail, learn information and chat with other Sisters.

Sisters’ Dining Room—Sisters have three meals a day in their dining room. They can invite outside guests to eat with them or they may converse with other Sisters.

A living group’s home is much like your home. It has a kitchen, bedroom, living and dining room where the Sisters eat and pray together. Some Sisters may live closer to where they work.
