Beginning in August 2026, we will explore Benedictine spirituality. Monastic life in the Benedictine tradition was introduced and flourished during troubled times and has endured for fifteen centuries. St. Benedict’s rule for monastic life inspires us to find a balance in our own lives in community, centered on work and prayer. A personal rule of life opens up space for God in daily life, whether cooking a meal or gardening or praying.
St. Benedict’s Rule itself is a tiny book with guidelines for living in community that is infused with scripture. This class includes Bible study, spiritual direction, and prayer. We will glean insights from Chapters II-V of Esther de Waal’s Seeking God: The Way of St. Benedict (Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 163 pp.).
For more information about the sessions, check weekly emails, the latest Constellation Quarterly, or ask Rev. Anne or SarahJean.

Our pilgrimage begins by attending mass at the Abbaye de Saint-Benoit-du-Lac, listening to Gregorian chant. We'll spend the first night in Magog, then some will return home. Others will continue to Quebec City.

In Quebec City, we will attend Morning Prayer in this Augustinian monastery. We'll also visit the Museum to learn about the Augustinian sisters who served here for 400 years. For more information about the pilgrimage, ask Rev. Anne or SarahJean.
