Mercy & Grace Through Prayer

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.

Sister Beverly Raway, Prioress

In a spirit of Benedictine hospitality, we greet you with peace and invite you to explore our way of life here at St. Scholastica Monastery.

—Sister Beverly Raway, Prioress

“Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.”
