Benedictine Sisters

Benedictine Sisters are members of a Christian monastic community that follows the Rule of St. Benedict, established in the 6th century. They lead a life dedicated to prayer, community living, and service. Their mission emphasizes balance, hospitality, and the importance of both communal and personal prayer. Often involved in education, healthcare, and social justice, they aim to live out their faith actively in the world. Each community is autonomous and may have its unique charism, but they all adhere to the foundational principles set forth by St. Benedict, focusing on a harmonious blend of work and prayer.
