Mission Statement

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.
