This program offers women the opportunity to experience Benedictine life with the vowed members of St. Joseph Monastery. Individuals share in our life through their participation in prayer, work, meals, ministry, and recreational activities.

Individuals live at the monastery. This is a program in which the individual grows in her relationship with God and with the Benedictine Community. It may be a time for one to discern God's call in her life. It allows her the opportunity to see and live first hand the Benedictine horarium and way of life. The time with us may be as little as one day, a week, a month or a year.

If you are interested in this type of life and want to explore God's will for you, call Sr. Jacinta Conklin, O.S.B., Prioress at 814-834-2267 to learn more about this program.
