 | | On January 17, 1998, we received the status of a Dependent Monastery from Saint Joseph Monastery in Saint Marys, Elk County, Pennsylvania, the first Benedictine Monastery of Sisters in the United States, established in 1852. |
 | | We are three charter members and an Affiliate, who is discerning her future with us. |
 | | We look to our future with faith, a sense of excitement about our ability to plant the Benedictine Charism permanently among the people in the Diocese of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and with a sincere desire to respond to what we believe is a call from God. |
