Living the Benedictine Life
The Benedictine Sisters of Erie are women monastics who seek God
in community guided by the Rule of Saint Benedict
and our living tradition.
Through a daily rhythm of prayer, holy leisure, and work
we hope to grow in love for God, for self, for our sisters and for the world.

Living the Oblate Way of Life
We embrace the monastic vision that strangers can live together in God’s love and become God’s liberating presence in the world. We accept the challenge to help shape the future of the global community and respond with courage – “so that in all things God may be glorified”. (RB Ch. 57:9)
