Monastery of St. Gertrude (Cottonwood, Idaho)

We are monastic women who follow the ancient Rule of Benedict.

Using early Christian communities as our model, we live out the values of praying together, living together, sharing all things in common, and serving the wider community and one another. We are a religious community of 56 Professed Sisters (13 Sisters are serving away from the Monastery) that intentionally manifest Benedictine spirituality in the world.
