Volunteer Opportunities
 Are
you looking for a meaningful work experience that enriches others?
Are you between jobs and not certain what the future holds? Are you
finished with schooling but not ready to make a professional commitment?
Do you need the time and place to do some serious reflection on your
life? If so, maybe we can help you.
 Our community welcomes women who would like to enrich their lives
by living and working with us as volunteers. The purpose of our volunteer
program is to provide single women the opportunity to enhance their
lives by sharing in the life, prayer and ministries of our monastery.
A variety of opportunities are available in areas such as clerical
work, computer work, phone duty, liturgical music, housekeeping,
gardening, nursing care, and cooking. We are flexible in offering
choices that would correspond to a volunteer’s gifts, training,
interests, and expertise. Work time is generally considered to be
about 30 hours a week.
 A volunteer is invited to participate in the monastic life of the
Sisters, such as common prayer, Eucharist, meals, and recreation.
For personal enrichment she may also choose to take part in retreats,
workshops, and prayer days according to her needs and desires. There
is time for personal reflection, reading, hobbies, and recreation.
For walkers and others who love nature, we have a great outdoors
to explore.
Board and room are provided plus a small monthly stipend. The volunteer
is expected to provide for her own personal needs, health insurance,
and transportation to the monastery.
Volunteers may make a commitment for one to several months.
