Giving Tuesday & School Expansion

It’s almost Giving Tuesday and our IHM School Expansion Project is well underway!
Sister Magdalene Marie, Sister Maria Faustina, and Sister Mary Jacinta are excited to give you an update of what has taken place on the school construction since the Sisters’ initial video, one year ago.
Watch the video below…, and then read all about the Expansion Project by visiting the school website! Be sure to share, donate and keep this important project in your prayers!

Saint Clare’s Host Making Room

For centuries the Catholic religious were the ones given this sacred task, and it is our privilege to continue this tradition here at Saint Benedict Center in our Saint Clare’s Host-making Room.

Presently we bake hosts for our community here at Saint Benedict Center and for a few priest friends on a regular basis.

Watch the video below for an explanation of the Host Making process.

May is for Mary

This May, ten of our Sisters were honored to perform a tribute to Mary at Saint Boniface Church, here in the Worcester Diocese. We are happy to be able to provide the video here for your inspiration and enjoyment during these last days of May!

The 1-hour recorded concert was divided into three sections, each introduced by a reflection honoring Mary as our Life, our Sweetness, and our Hope. In the first section you will hear familiar Marian songs of May, followed by traditional latin hymns in the second. The third part presents a few songs arranged by the Sisters and used during sessions of their “Morning Star Girls Camp.” Some are included in a CD entitled “This Faith is What I Love” put out by the Sisters and available at TrueDevotionals.com.

For many, this concert brings will back fond memories of the May Processions of earlier times. Enjoy the video and remember that even during these trying times, Mary is our Life, our Sweetness and our Hope!

Monastery Made Pretzels!

Pretzels are traditional Lenten fare at the monastery! In this video you take a step into our kitchen and follow along as Sister Maria Faustina, MICM, cooks some up for the community! We hope you enjoy the video… and the pretzels!

Giving Tuesday Video

Giving Tuesday is coming up on December 3rd! Please remember our Expansion Project for Immaculate Heart of Mary School when you are looking for good charities to help on that day!

Every donation, big or small, will be blessed by God… and you will be helping us form more young people in a Traditional Catholic Education! It doesn’t get any better than that!

Watch the video below which was made by the Sisters MICM to help promote this important project… and remember us on Giving Tuesday! God bless you!

 

Follow Mary the Morning Star!

Morning Star Camp for Catholic Girls 2019 “Follow Mary” Video – The lyrics, written by the Sisters, Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, reflect the spirit of the camp – “To Jesus through Mary,” which inspires all the campers, and the activities they participate in. The song is sung by campers every year!

May Procession 2017

Our annual May Procession here at the monastery was especially beautiful for the 100th Anniversary of the apparitions of Fatima! What a special grace to sing and pray to our Heavenly Mother on that day!

Profession of First Vows 2014

On September 8th, 2014, Sister Mary Imelda, formerly Mary-Kate Duffy of Shirley, Massachusetts, made her First Vows as a Bride of Christ. The moving ceremony is simply breathtaking in person, and we hope a little of that beauty is relayed through this video. To Jesus through Mary!
