Mission Statement
Benedicta Riepp Program
The Benedicta Riepp Program is designed to provide an individual Christian woman the opportunity to live intensely with the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, PA for a designated period of time so she may:
- Explore monasticism and the Rule of Benedict and experience them as one way of seeking God
- Experience Benedictine monastic spirituality through living a communal life and daily engaging in communal and personal prayer, lectio divina, reflection, study, and spiritual reading
- Integrate aspects of her life within the rhythm and charism of this Erie Benedictine community
- Discover ways the values of Benedictine spirituality can continue to enrich her life once she leaves the monastery
