The Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh’s monastic life of community, prayer and ministry gives witness to the peace and joy of seeking God, expressed in hospitality and simplicity. They strive to live the Gospel values through the rule of St. Benedict and commit themselves to support those in need.
They aresupportive of women, children and men who are struggling for dignity and justice in their lives; especially those who are most oppressed.
For 154 years, the Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh have been ministering to those in need of prayer, hospitality, education, encouragement, spiritual direction, and more. Today, you might find the Sisters learning about racial justice issues so they can become better advocates in the 21st century, offering their spiritual wisdom through spiritual spas and their Oblate program, or collecting school supplies and backpacks for local children.
Go to their website, osbpgh.org to learn more about the Benedictine Sisters and how lay people can become involved with the Sisters through spiritual spas, their Oblate program, and any special events such as the New Year’s Eve Peace Vigil or food bank collection.
Your gift of any size will help the Sisters continue their faith-filled presence wherever they are, and enable them to continue ministering to those around them. Additionally, your support will help to meet the daily needs of the Sisters at the monastery.
