 Sacred Heart Monastery is located in the rolling hills of beautiful, rural Stark County, North Dakota, one mile west of Richardton, and approximately eighty-five miles east of North Dakota’s border with Montana. We are a Benedictine women’s monastery, with twenty-eight members ranging in age from 38 to 95.
Sacred Heart Monastery became an official monastery of the Order of St. Benedict in 1916. The Sisters have always done whatever has been necessary to preserve their way of life and ensure their viability in times of change and challenge. We invite you to explore our history, flip through our photo gallery, read about our llamas and wind turbines, and to learn more about the monastic tempo of our daily lives.
 Sacred Heart Monastery is a rural community of Catholic Benedictine women in western North Dakota, who strive to practice, personify, and promulgate values of prayer, hospitality, respect for persons, moderation, community, service, and environmental stewardship in our daily lives. We disseminate these values throughout the region by offering spiritually-based workshops in our Spirituality Center, hosting group and individual retreats and programs, fostering religious vocations to the monastic life, and working and living in various communities in the region. The purpose of Sacred Heart Monastery is to provide a contemporary template for Gospel-driven living by modeling a communal, apostolic, Christian way of life.
