Important update regarding COVID-19 and liturgies at Sacred Heart Monastery
August 11, 2020 Update: Please note that all liturgies at Sacred Heart Monastery remain closed to the public due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. This step is being taken not out of fear but out of love for and a desire to protect our Sisters, guests, and neighbors. We are keeping all of you close in prayer during this time. Please pray for us, too, as we remain always united in Christ.
Behind the structure of monastic communal living is payer, and our commitment to seek Christ above all else.
