The Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery are Covid free and fully vaccinated.
We are continuing to take safety precautions regarding the pandemic and have begun to lift a few of our restrictions to aid us to a sense of normalcy, however small that may seem. To date, Sebastian county sustains higher cases of the virus in comparison to the national level and lower vaccination rates, so we are cautious in our response regarding the pandemic.
We are closed to public services at least through the start of June 2021.
We are not permitting overnight guests to our monastery guest house or ministry buildings.
We will permit visitors on a very LIMITED BASIS.
We request that visitors contact us before visiting the monastery. We cannot receive many visitors due to the CDC guidelines; therefore, scheduling a visit is helpful to us.
We request that permitted visitors undergo screening and follow the procedures set forth by the Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery.
Suppose you wish to walk our monastery grounds. In that case, we ask that you notify the community of your presence, practice social distancing and wear masks when out and about others while enjoying our monastic setting.

Weekly Reflection - May 03, 2021
These grains of sand; these pieces of matter
became rock; became one
at the price of tremendous pressure
which crushed each and fused all into one.
They are one now.
You cannot flick them away.
They are something solid, strong, enduring:
A symbol.
The colors are most vivid
on the side which was broken.
Only a great force can break rock.
May we all be one, Lord.
May our Community be one in You
and one with one another.
May all our pressures
bind us together
in Your love.
