Dear Friends,

Thank you to all who have already participated in Early Giving for GiveMN 2025. Your generosity and support mean so much to our community.

The Week of Giving begins on Thursday, November 20, and there is still time to join us in supporting the ministries and legacy of St. Scholastica Monastery.

This year’s campaign supports two meaningful projects:

A major update to our Monastery website — creating a welcoming, user-friendly space where visitors and friends can learn about our Sisters, history, and ministries today and into the future.

A new History Board for the first floor of Stanbrook Hall — continuing our visual story of faith, service, and Benedictine life.

We are especially blessed that a generous donor has offered a $5,000 matching gift, doubling the impact of every dollar contributed up to that amount. Your gift — large or small — will help us meet this match and move these projects forward.

Get to know the Sisters

Welcome to the home, history, and mission of the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery. We are a community of Benedictine monastic women who seek God through our response to the Gospel challenge and the Rule of St. BenedictWe live a contemplative/active life grounded in liturgical and personal prayer, in lectio divina, with time for silence and solitude. At St. Scholastica Monastery, it is a life balanced by work, study, and leisure.

Rooted in the values of Benedictine hospitality, we greet you with peace and joy, and welcome you to learn more about our community at St. Scholastica Monastery.

—Sister Jeanne Ann Weber, Prioress

“Listen carefully, my child, to your master's precepts, and incline the ear of your heart. Receive willingly and carry out effectively your loving father's advice, that by the labor of obedience you may return to Him from whom you had departed by the sloth of disobedience.”
–St. Benedict of Nursia, The Rule of Saint Benedict
