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.
I pray daily for wisdom and humility, and I also look to the fidelity and witness of my Sisters who each day surround me with love, challenge me to grow, and inspire me to continue in this monastic way of life.
