Vision Statement

We, the Sisters of St. Paul's Monastery, are a community who live the Rule of St. Benedict based on Gospel values.

Through our liturgical life and wise stewardship, we create sacred space from which we respond to the needs and challenges of church and society.

At the heart of our monastic community, the cloister walks (pictured left) are sacred spaces for silence, reflection and contemplation.

New Monastery,
Unbroken Welcome

The Sisters of St. Paul's Monastery will continue to welcome guests for prayer, retreat, and a stop in the gift shop, even as construction continues on the new monastery and roadways.

Please join us in the spiritual practices of flexibility and attentiveness to God's presence amidst a transition that will include the sound of equipment and a little dust on our shoes.

Thank you for sharing this journey with the community of St. Paul's Monastery.

S. Carol Rennie OSB, Prioress

The Wisdom Prayer

Guiding the Sisters' Conversation for 14 Years

I, Wisdom, am with you.

I am a light that will never grow dim.

Love me and you will see me.

Look for me and you will find me.

At the slightest indication of your desire for me,

I will make myself known to you.

Watch for me at the very start of what you are about, and you will have no trouble.

You will find me, ever present, sitting at your table. Even thinking about my presence will help you.

Be aware of my presence, my concern,

my willingness to inspire and to instruct you.

As you meet with each other, I will meet with each and all of you.

Wisdom 6.12-17
