"Let Us Prefer Nothing Whatever to Christ and May Christ Bring us Altogether to Everlasting Life." - Rule of Benedict


Welcome


We are a Community of Benedictine Sisters living and working together and following the Rule of St. Benedict. We are located in Boerne,Texas approximately 30 miles Northwest of San Antonio. The grounds are nestled in the beautiful and scenic Texas Hill Country.

Our Community was founded in 1911 by Mother Lidwina Weber in the Isle of Pines, Cuba. For a complete history please click on the history link above. Our ministries include a retreat center - The Omega Retreat Center hosts many church groups from around the country, Omega's theme is "Come apart and rest awhile" Our senior activity center, - the Health and Wholeness Center is a place where seniors can gather to enjoy activities like painting, weaving, tai-chi, water aerobics, group trips, or just chatting over some coffee. Also on our grounds we offer a Christian ecumenical book and gift store where all faiths are warmly welcomed. Please feel free to browse around the site and thank you for coming.

Our Mission:

We, the Boerne Benedictines, are called to Seek God in Community and to respond in ministry through sharing our spirituality and addressing the needs of those who live in poverty and of those who are disenfranchised.
