Kayte Postle Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 So I've been interested in looking at Benedictine orders recently, (looking not contacting yet), and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I'm looking at orders that are contemplative or contemplative/active. I'm already looking at: Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles The Abbey of St. Walburga The Oliventan Benedictine Sisters of Holy Angels Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Kayte Postle Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) The Clear Creek Benedictines! http://www.clearcreeksisters.org/index.php I've never heard of these sisters, they seem wonderful. They have the Traditional Latin Mass! (gahh fangirl-ing). Do you know if they are cloistered? Edited January 21, 2014 by Kayte Postle
deusluxmea Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 If you attracted to Benedictine spirituality, particularly monastic life, you might like to also check out the Cisterician/Trappistine orders.

EmilyAnn Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Monastery of the Immaculate Heart of Mary St. Cecilia's Abbey (In England, but they are really wonderful. They have many sisters from overseas.) I've never heard of these sisters, they seem wonderful. They have the Traditional Latin Mass! (gahh fangirl-ing). Do you know if they are cloistered? The Clear Creek sisters are fairly new, I don't know much about them personally but I discerned with a 'sister' community from the same Congregation and they are cloistered.
beatitude Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Benedictine Sisters of Grace and Compassion (They are present in the UK and several African countries, and they are active/contemplative - they have a very strong prayer life, centred on the Divine Office and Mass, but also care for elderly people as part of their Benedictine focus on hospitality.) Benedictine Sisters of Jesus Crucified (They are contemplative, and are unique for being open to women in poor health and with physical disabilities as well as to able-bodied women. They have two monasteries in France, one in the US, and one in Japan.)
DameAgnes Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I believe the Clear Creek women used to be part of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles. Or...I could be wrong. Edited January 21, 2014 by DameAgnes
Ancilla Domini Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I believe the Clear Creek women used to be part of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles. Or...I could be wrong. No, they're two separate groups. The Clear Creek Benedictines are joined with the Clear Creek Benedictine monks, and I believe their community started in Clear Creek. @Kayte: I think that they are cloistered, but I could be mistaken. If they're not cloistered, then they're semi-cloistered. Edited January 21, 2014 by Ancilla Domini
SilentJoy Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Has anyone mentioned the Benedictines in Greensburg, PA? http://www.stemma.org/
SilentJoy Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Cistercian Nuns of Prairie du Sac, WI Love love love...they probably don't need any volunteers to come help with the new building project? ;)
Immanuel Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 No, they're two separate groups. The Clear Creek Benedictines are joined with the Clear Creek Benedictine monks, and I believe their community started in Clear Creek. @Kayte: I think that they are cloistered, but I could be mistaken. If they're not cloistered, then they're semi-cloistered. From the pics it looks like they accept older vocations :like3:

I will, thank you Deus! @Kayte: I think that they are cloistered, but I could be mistaken. If they're not cloistered, then they're semi-cloistered. Thank you ancilla. Yeah I was looking around their website, and it looks like they have constitutional enclosure (there are a few pictures of building their enclosure wall), but they never state it in plain words on their website. So many avvesome Benedictines! Here I was thinking there were only a handful of traditional Benedictines, but there are so many!! Thank you all, and keep them coming.
salveregina10 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 We can't forget to mention our awesome international Congregation, the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing. We are in 19 countries and share the gospel through community life and missionary apostolates. http://www.osb-tutzing.it/

Kayte Postle Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Our Lady of the Rock Benedictine Nuns (Shaw Island, WA) Ooo, I think it's really interesting that they have internships. It would be a unique and wonderful way to experience the flow of Benedictine monastic life. btw, Mater you are a research wizard.
