In celebration of this Season of Creation, the Sisters of St. Benedict are hosting a Prayer, Walk, and Petition event at the Old Town Lake in Ferdinand on Saturday, September 3 at 10 a.m. EST.
The event will be an opportunity to pray together, walk together, and sign a petition. Everyone will leave with a plant for their home. And on Saturday, September 10, the Sisters will have a booth at the Family Festival in Jasper to offer activities and information about the Season of Creation.
Every year from September 1 to October 4, the Sisters of St. Benedict join their global Christian family for the Season of Creation: a worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. They look forward to this season as a time to intentionally care for creation.
The Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand make up one of the largest Benedictine communities of women in the United States — over 110 members strong and thriving. They seek God through the Benedictine tradition of community life, prayer, hospitality, and service to others. Through their life and work, they commit themselves to be a presence of peace as they join their sisters and brothers in the common search for God. The Monastery Immaculate Conception was founded in 1867 by four young Benedictine sisters who came to Ferdinand to teach the children of area settlers. Since then, more than 1,000 women have entered this community. Their ministries extend both beyond education and beyond Ferdinand, with members of their community serving as teachers, social workers, parish ministers, counselors, nurses, youth ministers, chaplains, librarians, and more.
