About Us

The Dwelling Place Monastery

Cross

We Seek God in the Ordinary of Everyday Life.



Sr. Kathleen and Benedict the Cat working at the computer

We are a monastic community of women. Though not cloistered we are contemplative, creating a peaceful and prayerful environment so that the word of God can take root in our hearts.

We also enter into the inter-faith dialogue that brings a richness to the area. This impels us to be inclusive in our prayer life and to be respectful toward all people's beliefs.

Continuing in the Benedictine tradition of having a missionary spirit, we walk with the people of the area and listen to their needs. Yes, some of us work outside the monastery. We serve our sisters and brothers through teaching, counseling, social work, care of the sick, parish and retreat work. At other times we are open to new and creative ways to use our gifts for the service of others.
