Benedictine life is balanced.
Benedictine communities extend the healing presence of Christ to others through hospitality, stewardship and a wide range of good works. The ministries in which we engage are expressive of the gifts and skills of the sisters and responsive to the needs of the local area. The community supports a wide range of its own ministries as well as supporting sisters who work in ministries outside the community structure, such as health care, educational or church-sponsored institutions.

During the postulancy, a woman will work in a community ministry for 32 hours each week. The choice of ministry will be determined by the woman and her mentor, based on the present needs of the community and the personal interests and gifts of the postulant. This ministry may vary throughout the year.

During the novitiate year, a woman dedicates herself full-time to the novitiate program.

As a scholastic, a woman returns to full-time ministry, determined in discernment with her mentor.
