...to seek God in Community and to respond through prayer and ministry
Due to the Coronavirus, all Masses, retreats and programs at the monastery are cancelled until further notice. We regret that we cannot welcome guests at this time in order to help ensure the health of all.
You will continue to be in our prayers. If you would like us to pray for a particular intention you can e-mail us at BenedictineSisters@bensisnj.org or call 908-352-4278.
We, the Benedictine Sisters of Saint Walburga Monastery, Elizabeth, New Jersey, are monastic women who seek God in community through Sacred Scripture and the Rule of Saint Benedict.
Our fidelity to the monastic way of life is sustained by the Eucharist, the Liturgy of the Hours, lectio divina, and presence to one another.
Through active lives balanced by contemplation we witness to Jesus Christ in community, hospitality, and ministry.
