The Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth, Minnesota are monastic women who seek God together in community following the Rule of St. Benedict. Our lives of prayer and work are centered around the Eucharist, communal recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours, lectio divina (prayerful reading of Scripture and sacred reading) balanced with time for study, prayer and leisure. Guided by the Gospels and the Holy Rule, our common life allows our sisters to utilize their various gifts and talents. In addition to sponsoring the College of St. Scholastica, the large Benedictine Health System and the Benedictine Center of Spirituality, we are also engaged in teaching at all levels, music and the arts, retreat work, chaplaincy and spiritual direction . We invite women interested in our way of life to arrange for a visit or if interested in a longer stay to inquire about our residential volunteer Associate program.
