Life on the Prairie
Located in the rolling hills of western North Dakota, Sacred Heart Monastery is a rural community of Catholic Benedictine women who strive to personify the values of monastic life.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our history and the tempo of our daily lives.

The natural
rhythm
of the day
begins
with a
brilliant
sunrise…

and ends
with the
last rays
of light
fading
behind
the hills.

The Promise
of the Prairie
reflects God’s
sustaining
presence
in our lives,
even in times
of uncertainty
and doubt.

Monastic life at
Sacred Heart
Monastery
revolves
around the
Liturgy of the Hours.
Our community
is devoted
to prayer
and good works.

Every member
contributes
something to
the greater
whole,
and is valued
for the gifts that
God has given her
to share with others.

Our lives are
balanced between
prayer, work,
and recreation
leading us to
a greater knowledge
of ourselves,
each other,
and God.

As Benedictines
we treat
everyone as
we would
treat Christ,
as an honored
guest in our lives
from whom all
blessings flow.
