The Olivetan Benedictine Sisters are a community of monastic women of diocesan right who seek God through prayer and work under the Rule of St Benedict. Accordingly, they proclaim Jesus Christ and the Gospel message through service to each other in community, hospitality, health care, education and other apostolic works. They are the founders and religious sponsors of St Bernards Healthcare. They live in community, pray the Divine Office together, participate in daily Mass and make time each day for personal prayer. The sisters are based at the motherhouse in Jonesboro but may be sent to serve on mission elsewhere. For more information, visit Holy Angels Convent.
