| | Monastery of St. Gertrude, Cottonwood, ID home of the Idaho Corp. of Benedictine Sisters |
 | | We are a religious community of 60 Sisters, with 8 women in initial formation, who follow the Rule of Benedict at the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood, Idaho, and the other places where we live and serve. |
 | | With the early Christian communities as our model, we strive to live out the values of praying together, living together, sharing all things in common, and serving the wider community. |
 | | Becoming a Benedictine Sister involves giving oneself to a life of dynamic faith, to committed relationships with those in the community and with the church, and to continued growth. |
