Welcome to the Dominican Nuns Monastery of The Blessed Sacrament, where silence is a profound song, prayer is the foundation of strength, and our Lord Jesus Christ is our eternal companion. Here, you will not only nurture your soul but also cultivate the gifts of the earth to sustain our community and extend a hand of service to a world in need.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.
At the heart of our existence lies contemplation, a profound practice where prayer becomes a symphony, and the Eucharistic Lord is the central note. In our daily lives, we immerse ourselves in His presence, His grace, and His boundless love. Silence is our sanctuary, offering us the space to reflect, meditate, and connect with the profound depths of our Catholic faith.
We center our lives on our Lord Jesus Christ, the true Light, and radiate God's healing presence in the world through daily common prayer, meditation, study, and the proclamation of the Holy Preaching. The solemn celebration of the Holy Mass and the liturgy of the hours remain the core of our daily life, where salvation is present and at work.
St. Dominic's profound commitment to study remains an essential part of our Holy Preaching. We diligently explore the Word of God, revealed through Scripture, and Tradition. This study is a lifelong pursuit, where we delve into the riches of our Catholic faith and share our knowledge with others. It is through study that we become effective proclaimers of the Truth, motivated by love of God and neighbor.
Our common life is the foundation of our Dominican monastic experience. It is the unity in which we dwell, having one mind and heart in God. This unity transcends the confines of our Monastery and extends to the entire Order and the broader Church. We hold all things in common, fostering sisterly communion, and share in the burdens and joys of one another's lives.
