Our annual spring guests have arrived!

High above on the Sisters’ roof, Mama Goose patiently watched over her nest—while Papa stood guard below by the pond.

This week, their seven goslings made their brave debut, dropping from the Monastery roof and trekking to the pond below.

From welcoming guests to serving in liturgy, our volunteers make daily life at the Monastery possible and we are deeply grateful. As Sister Karen Sames, OSB says,

"Their support allows us to extend our hospitality to our guests, employees and Sisters."

A special Wednesday at the Monastery ✨

We celebrated our volunteers and hosted Hill-Murray’s Student Art Gallery Opening & Awards Reception. Thank you to those who filled the Monastery space with creativity and joy.

Congrats to all the students who participated.

Last night, we celebrated the volunteers who give so generously to our Monastery community.

A full room, shared stories of service, and a small token of gratitude for the many ways they “welcome all as Christ.”

Thank you for being our greatest blessing.

“I am receiving more than I am giving.”

A beautiful reminder this #VolunteerAppreciationWeek: service transforms both the giver and the community.

Your time is our greatest blessing. Thank you.

We’re grateful for all of our volunteers. Donating your time and care makes a difference in the Sisters' lives.

As Joan Norgon shares, it’s in these moments that we connect, and build our community.

Your time is our greatest blessing. 💙
