The girls, who were from Indiana and Kentucky, seemed to really enjoy the weekend. They said it was nice to see up close what it is like to be a nun. They also enjoyed being able to talk with each other and share their hopes, dreams, and fears.
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.

Some Young Visitors
This past weekend we had a Come & See Weekend for high school girls. Eight girls attended. The girls came to see and experience a little of what it is like to be a Sister of St. Benedict of Ferdinand, Indiana. We had lots of fun, prayed as a small group and with the larger community of sisters, did some service work, went on a long behind-the-scenes tour, joined in Common Recreation with the sisters, and more.
