We are part of the venerable Subiaco Cassinese Benedictine Congregation, as are the nearby monks of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert.

Also like the nuns of Jamberoo, our community has young members giving much hope of growth and stability in the Benedictine family. Our monastery is composed of sisters originally from different parts of the world. We have sisters who were born in the USA, as well as Vietnam, Mexico and Guatemala.
