   OUR CHARISM AND OUR MISSION

        "Listen eagerly to the call of the Spirit..."

OUR CHARISM  STATEMENT

We, the Benedictine women of Mother of God Monastery are a monastic community with rural roots and a pioneering vision. Seeking God together in community is a primary Benedictine value, therefore we are hospitable and compassionate toward one another, and we empower one another to live joyfully. We strive for a balanced life of prayer, work, study and leisure.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Open to the Spirit and with listening hearts, we hear God’s call to live our monastic and personal gifts by inviting others to share our community life, by ministering to the people of God, by reverent stewardship of creation, and by bringing Gospel values into a multi-cultural world.
