We are a community of Benedictine women called to witness
God's gracious presence by:
- building community wherever we are
- by praying the Liturgy of the Hours
- by offering hospitality and extending peace
- and by responding to the changing needs around us in the
fields of education, health
- care and spiritual formation.
We seek God by living in this cenobitic community under the
Rule of St. Benedict and a prioress. In response to the call
of the Church this Benedictine tradition made its Canadian
foundation in Winnipeg in 1912.

As Monastic women inspired by the Gospel and the Rule of St. Benedict and guided
by the documents of the Federation of St. Gertrude and our lived
tradition and monastery norms- we are committed to model a contemplative
stance to all of life. We call ourselves to listen and to respond
as we pray and work with the people of God in restoring and transforming
the human community- so that God may be glorified.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our site.
We hope it is inspiring, and may help you to get to know us
better.
