Seven days to honor the women who care for earth and you all year long
Catholic Sisters Week
The sisters kindly request no gifts for themselves
If you would like to honor the Benedictine Sisters of Benet Hill Monastery, they ask that you make a donation to help members of our community experiencing food insecurity. In Colorado today, 475,000 people are facing hunger daily, and nearly 150,000 of them are children. The sisters believe that no one in our community should go hungry so that’s why they’re partnering with Westside Cares of Colorado Springs to gather food supplies.
Let’s each do our own small part to say thank you to a Catholic Sister. Together, let’s Stuff a Truck full of food supplies for Westside Cares! Click below for the flyer detailing food supplies needed and when the truck will be available.

A Prayer for Catholic Sisters Week
Loving, ever present God,
We ask your blessing on all the Catholic Sisters throughout the world who have served your people for so many years. For the hospitals and schools that they built and staffed, we give thanks. For the services they continue to provide to poor and marginalized communities, we give thanks. For their humility, love, and professionalism, we give thanks. For their recognition and support for the dignity of each living being, we give thanks.
During this Catholic Sisters Week, we especially ask you to bless the sisters, oblates, and friends of Benet Hill Monastery as we serve our community members who are suffering from food insecurity. Be with us, Loving God, as we gather in food for those who are often hungry.
And continue to be with us, God of Justice, as we work to address the inequitable systems that result in hunger in Colorado. Help us to act and truly believe that no one in our community should go hungry. Amen.
