If you are interested in our community, we invite you to contact us. After the initial contact with the Vocation Director , you will receive additional information about our community, and we suggest that you visit with us to experience first hand the charism and special gifts of the community. We especially recommend experiencing monastic life through a "Come and See" weekend. These weekends are flexible and can be scheduled at your convenience by contacting the Vocation Director.  For a deeper, more intense experience, we also offer the Observership Program .   Activity in these programs will provide you the opportunity to meet us and become acquainted with daily living of the monastic life in community. You will also participate in discussions with others in discernment and meet with sisters to learn more about the Benedictine life here at St. Scholastica Monastery. After spending time back home in prayer and in listening to God, you are invited to attend a "Summer Monastic Experience " . By participating in prayer, recreation, dialogue, and work in the monastery, you will learn about different aspects of our charism.
