The Missionary Benedictine Sisters were founded in 1885 by Fr. Andreas Amrhein. We were founded as a missionary society to spread the Good News to those who do not know Christ or where Christ is not sufficiently known.
The charism of the Missionary Benedictine Sisters’ life is:

A particular way of living the Gospel and is rooted in the Rule of St. Benedict. Seeking God in community, under a rule and a superior – including praying and working together, sharing our goods, living in mutual service, support, and encouragement. Characterized by the Liturgy of the Hours in common and lectio divina. Proclaiming the Gospel among people who do not know Christ and where Christ is not sufficiently known. The 1,300+ Missionary Benedictine Sisters are currently serving God’s people in 18 countries in various ministries.
