God sends trials but grace as well, to accept all as it comes, though it may be hard...the cross is the road to heaven.

wisdom from the letters of our foundress,

The beautiful liturgies...the wondrous chapel...sisters dressed in traditional choir robes raising their voices in song….“It was like seeing a bit of heaven,” Sister Josetta Grant remembered when she entered the community in 1954. More than five decades later, she lives at the congregation’s San Benito Monastery in Dayton, Wyo.

Sister Josetta, a Kansas native, attended services at the Benedictine Sisters’ motherhouse chapel in Clyde with her family as a young child. Fond memories stretch back before she even understood what it meant to be called to religious life. “I had never witnessed anything so beautiful until attending their services,” she said. “I knew I wanted to be a part of it.”
