As often as anything important is to be done in the monastery, the prioress or abbot shall call the whole community together…If less important business of the monastery is to be transacted, the prioress or abbot shall take counsel with the elders only, as it is written: “Do everything with counsel and you will not be sorry afterward” (Sirach 32:24).Rule of Benedict, Chapter 3


About Us
Our Prioress      Our Priorities

 

The Monastic Council is an advisory body to the prioress and functions as the Board of Trustees of the community and for the ministries of the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia.  It is comprised of five members:  three appointed by the prioress and two elected by the community.
