Domine ut Videam Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I just wanted to drop in, because in my search for female benedictine monasteries i came across this thread. Since coming to Benedictine College i have really fallen in love with the benedictine way of life as well as this order. In my search for authentic benedictine nuns and sisters though i have been sorely disappointed. Most have lost their habit and do not follow the Rule. To Ora et labora, the Benedictines are known for their hospitality, stability, and fighting of the devil. Here in Atchison, KS the Benedictine monks settled in the 1800's partly because of the devil-worshipping that was occurring here. As a result, the town grew, the faith flourished, the sisters followed, and many schools, parishes, and two colleges were founded. i truly love this order and am ardently searching for devout Benedictine sisters, does anyone know of any? Yours in Christ, Lauren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starets Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 There are some sisters in Vermont I think it is who are a part of the Solesmes congregation of benedictines. That congregation is known for beauty and attention to detail of its liturgies and Offices. They are cloistered of course. There is apparently a communtily of nuns trying to form in association with the monks of Clear Creek monastery in Oklahoma. There is also Our Lady of the Desert iin New Mexico just upstream from Christ in the Desert. They are planning to move to some land near Gobernador(sp?), NM sometime soon.
