The mission of the Benedictine Sisters is reverence. Through common prayer, stewardship, hospitality, and mutual respect, we seek to find and honor God present in each person and in all created things. We chose "reverence" as the spirit of our mission for its Latin roots that mean "to see again." Join us in taking a fresh look at life. Discover God in yourself and in the world around you.The Benedictine Sisters of Chicago also established mission schools in Colorado in Breckenridge, Canon City, Delta, Pueblo, and Salida. In September 1890, Mount St. Scholastica Academy, Canon City, was opened. In 1907, St. Scholastica Academy opened on Ridge Boulevard in Chicago. Our two high schools have since closed.Our present monastery was built in 1906. In 1924, a new section was added that includes St. Scholastica Chapel. In 1980, St. Joseph's Court, an infirmary for the care of the elderly Sisters, was built at the north end of the monastery. Today, the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago serve in a number of ministries including education, counseling, spirituality programs, and direct service.
