It is without any doubt that St. Scholastica is revered by all Benedictines throughout the world. Indeed, she has been honored throughout the ages. Yet, we know so very little about her other than what Gregory the Great tells us in his Life of Benedict. Is there a way of recovering her more fully for the 21st century that enables us to extend our esteem for Scholastica and to expand her significance in relation to the Benedictine identity? Using ancient storytelling methods and creative historical imagination, it is possible to bring Scholastica to life in credible and revelatory ways.
This engaging conversation about St. Scholastica is a hybrid presentation. Sister Carmel Posa SGS will present over Zoom from her Monastery in Australia. Participants have the option to join only online (beginning at 6:30pm) or to join the Sisters for Evening Prayer (5:00pm), the evening meal (5:30pm), and view the Zoom together in a room at the Monastery.
Ongoing Spiritual Direction
It takes a bit of courage to reach out about spiritual direction because our journeys are personal and full of uncertainty. Members of the Benedictine Center’s spiritual direction team respect that just as much as we trust that the Holy Spirit is at work. Sometimes the most helpful next step is to have a personal conversation about your unique questions.

Call 651.777.7251 and speak privately about your situation.
Email the Benedictine Center to consider whether meeting one-on-one or in a group might be a good fit for you.
Request a free initial consultation, scheduled at your convenience.
From there the staff will prayerfully consider which person or group might be a good support to you. If you like, we’ll then have someone be in touch with you to set up a free initial consultation. That will be a time to explore your questions about and discuss expectations for the process. You might choose to continue meeting with this person, take some time to keep reflecting on the possibility, or get a recommendation about someone else who might help you deepen your relationship with God.
However your journey is unfolding, we wish you blessings.
