People have marveled at the Blessed Virgin Mary’s trust and faith when the Angel Gabriel announced to her that she was favored by God and chosen to carry God’s Son. Her answer, “may it be done to me,” was a moment of “Annunciation” that called her to set her own fears and uncertainties aside and walk in faith according to God’s plan.  We Benedictine Sisters of Annunciation Monastery continue to respond to “annunciation moments” in our personal lives and in the ministries of our monastic community. In this Tidings some of our sisters share their own “annunciation moments.

  • WHAT a privilege it was for us to participate in the Circle of Cultures, Lewis & Clark National Signature Event. Hosted on the University of Mary campus, just north of the monastery, the Oct. 22-31 event drew an estimated 50,000 people including 10,000 schoolchildren. Among the many exhibits was the National Park Service’s Corps of Discovery II, “Tent of Many Voices,” a traveling dialogue and interpretation of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and educational and interpretive programs by the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Land Management.
