The community prays and works together in the monastery. Guests join
us here for prayer, meals, retreats and other spiritual resources. Designed
for individual use, the monastery contains an outdoor garden, the oratory,
dining room, Adoration Chapel, baptismal font, library, offices and common
rooms.
It is a quiet place where the monastery bells call us to prayer. The
interior includes icons reminding us of God's presence. |

The icon of Christ in Glory and
the statue of Our Lady of Einsiedeln are simple adornments. At the entry
of the oratory stands the baptismal font. |

The library specializes in theology and religion. It offers an ecumenical
collection of books and periodicals consistent with Western
monastic interests and values. The 4,000-volume library carries titles on monasticism, ecumenism, Scripture
and preaching, spirituality, Christian churches and world religions, liturgy
and women's religious studies.
The library serves the monastic community and our guests. Many clergy
find it a valuable resource for preparing their sermons. Read our library guidelines or contact Nancy Sandleback at nsandleback@benedictinewomen.org.
