We, the Sisters of St. Benedict of Ferdinand, Indiana, are monastic women seeking God through the Benedictine tradition of community life, prayer, hospitality, and service to others. By our life and work, we commit ourselves to be a presence of peace as we join our sisters and brothers in the common search for God.

Home for the Summer
I have come to Ferdinand for the summer. I really enjoy coming home for the summer. It helps me to connect with others that I don't normally see during the school year. I also enjoy helping out where is needed. When we have 10 month jobs we come home and do two weeks of service. That includes tours, haircare, housekeeping, switchboard, or whatever needs to be covered. I feel like this is a way that I can give back to the community.

Sister Jill,
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you like to "come home for the summer". Ferdinand is a great place to call home, I can see why you like to come home to the monastary in the summer! So many different things to do, so many wonderful fellow sisters, the monastary is just so peaceful yet alive at the same time!
