Benedictine Life Week June 30 - July 6, 2006

Come, join us
for our next Come & See Weekend!

October 15-17, 2010

"Discernment: Listening to God's Call"

Click here for details.

Inquiry Stage

The Inquiry Stage, the first step in discernment, is for single Catholic women, 18 years or older, who wish to learn more about monastic life before making a vocational decision. During the Inquiry Stage, there is continual communication between women who have expressed interest and the Sisters of St. Benedict of Ferdinand, Indiana.

What We Do

  • Acquaint you with our community through telephone calls and mailings.
  • Maintain regular contact and help you in your discernment.
  • Invite you to visit the Monastery, perhaps for one of the Come & See Weekends/Week or a Visiting Weekend.
  • Provide prayer support by matching you with one of our sisters in the Prayer Partners Program.
  • Recommend recent articles and books about Benedictine life to help you become more knowledgeable about our values.

What You Do

  • Stay in communication with us.

  • Make an effort to meet our vocation directors and visit the Monastery at Ferdinand.
  • Continue gathering information that will help you with your decision.
  • Indicate, on a yearly basis, your interest in continuing as an inquirer with our community.
