St. Scholastica Monastery

Religious InstitutionsUnited States51-200 Employees

We are an active-monastic community of Benedictine Sisters who seek God through our lives of prayer and work. Our monastery is situated in Duluth, Minnesota on a hill overlooking Lake Superior. We have been serving the Church and the world since 1892.

Our Sisters work in a variety of ministries, including health care, education (college and elementary), spiritual direction, retreat ministry, chaplaincy, service to the poor, care for the environment, and the arts.  As community, we founded and sponsor the College of St. Scholastica and the Benedictine Health System. The hospitals we founded in our earliest years are now among the Catholic health care facilities that we sponsor within Essentia Health.  

Our community of 75 includes 5 Sisters in initial formation. Most of the Sisters live at the monastery.  A number of lay employees help us at the monastery, and hundreds of others share in our Benedictine mission and values through their work in our sponsored organizations.

Prioress:  Sister Beverly Raway, O.S.B.
