What is monastic life?
The word of God, simplicity, fraternity. For centuries, women have chosen to give everything to Christ
and to others, in a life of prayer and sharing at the heart of a community.
Living together
In the monastery, fraternal life is woven every day in prayer, listening and forgiveness.
Liturgy & prayer
Prayer takes several forms: Eucharist, chanting of services, simple presence before God.
Silence & withdrawal from the world
Silence to listen, prayer to carry the world.
Come and find peace, light and hope.
