About Us

Mission :

Benedictine Sisters of Mt. Angel, are women responding to the call to live in community according to the Gospel and the Rule of St. Benedict. Together we seek God in a balanced life of prayer and work, simplicity, hospitality, and service. While our vow of stability leads us to a special care for the people of the local area, we are deeply conscious of sharing the universal mission of the Church.

We take three vows at the time of profession:

Stability, a lifelong commitment to this particular community of women;

Fidelity to Monastic Life, a promise to seek God by embracing the pattern of living inspired by the Rule of Benedict; and

Obedience, a commitment to attentive listening, discernment and response to the will of God.
