RENEW YOURSELF AND REMAIN YOURSELF

A NEW "SPIRIT" LIVE-IN EXPERIENCE . . .

. . .for single adult Catholic women who want to further their spiritual growth by praying and sharing community life with the Benedictine Sisters in Grand Terrace, CA.

Magnificent view of Blue Mountain


Holy Spirit Monastery, located in the beautiful California foothills in Grand Terrace, is a peaceful environment where people may pray, walk our 80 foot labyrinth, and participate in the daily life of the Community without the requirement of taking vows.


Many working women long for an atmosphere where they can foster their spiritual development while earning a living but may not wish to pursue a vowed life.


Basic Requirements:

Mature, practicing Catholic women under age 65.


Women who have good physical, mental, and emotional health.


Those free of financial and family responsibilities.


Women who have the ability to get along with others. 
Application Process


Involves a preliminary interview and completion of the application form. 
A few days visit at the monastery.

Women participating in this experience will join in community prayer and take part in the everyday activities of the monastery as fits into their schedules. They will be welcomed, loved and accepted by the Benedictine Community.


Individuals make a time commitment that integrates their availability and other obligations. This commitment, renewable by mutual consent, is a covenant to participate in community life, to contribute time and talents, and to experience as fully as possible in the community life of the Sisters.


This SPIRIT live-in experience offers the opportunity for uniting a working life with a spiritual life.

Sophie Bratton was the first woman to participate in our Live-In experience at the Monastery.  She said, "The Spirit Program is a source of deep peace and ongoing spiritual development for me.  It made it possible to be in this place of tranquility and to know the Sisters as human beings, as well as to participate in the daily life of the monastery.  I am very grateful for the opportunities the Spirit Program provided to me."
