A community of Cistercian Nuns living a contemplative life of prayer and work in Wrentham, MA. Our monastery belongs to the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, whose members are also commonly known as Trappists or Trappistines.
"Although [s]he may seem to be free from the activity and building up of the world, the monk is in fact deeply concerned with it. H[er] choice of life brings h[er] immediately to that place where the world must be brought to birth in the presence of God. [Sh]e is inspired by that immense and ever-active yearning which runs through all creation, and strives to bring about the transformation of the Universe."
- Andre Louf, OCSO
