We are a community of 57 women committed to contemplative prayer, community life and ministries that respond to the changing demands around us.

Living with monastic hearts provides us the peace and quiet that enables us to move into the noise and activity of the city with commitment, conviction and realism.
We strive to live out Benedict's call to "Listen, my daughter, with the ear of your heart. We listen through communal prayer and scriptural reflection; we hear God's call through dialogue with one another; we seek to respond as we are able WHERE THERE IS NEED, our community tradition and motto.
