Vision Statement

We, the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia, believing in the sacredness of all creation, claim monastic stewardship as our corporate witness.

As a community of monastic women with a contemplative vision, we are impelled to preserve, cherish, and nurture all that is touched by the Creator’s hand.

Out of our sense of reverence, hospitality, & responsibility, we commit ourselves in a spirit of peace to conserve, use, & share our gifts, resources, & heritage.

Welcome!

The Benedictine Sisters of Virginia are a vibrant monastic community of women who have served the people of Virginia for 150 years.

Through our prayer and our service, through our hospitality, compassion and mercy, and in all of our ministries, we hope to foster in our world a greater respect for the divine dignity of all people.

“All are to be welcomed as Christ.”

COVID-19 Update

February 2021

We are grateful that all the Sisters at our monastery remain corona-virus free. Although it pains us to remain closed to the public, we must be conscientious about our precautionary measures. Therefore, all events at the monastery continue to be canceled until further notice.  Let each of us do what we can to help prevent the spread of the virus, fear, and despair.

God is with us in all times — all shall be well!

Some people ask: “What are you giving up for Lent?” or “What are you doing for Lent?” And the answers come: “giving up desserts” or “donating money to charity” or “praying the rosary every day.” These are all good things! We do what we can, things that will cause us a bit of inconvenience, to help us remember the sacrifice Jesus made for our redemption. I ask myself the question: What gift will I give to God? My best response is to give what is most precious: my time. Will you join me in giving more time to God this Lent? Forty days of good practice may just lead to a change in lifestyle, to a wideness of heart or a depth of soul as we deliberately make time to remember that God is the source of all life.
