Abbey of St. Walburga
  Benedictine Nuns

PAX!

The Abbey of St. Walburga is a  small community of contemplative Benedictine nuns of the Roman Catholic Church.  We are located in a valley in northern Colorado, where the high plains meet the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.  The goal of our life is to seek God in community according to the Gospel and under the inspiration of the Rule of St. Benedict.  We devote much of our day to the Word of God, through reading and in liturgical prayer.  This life of prayer bears fruit in hospitality, providing an opportunity for people to  be in an atmosphere where they can find God.  All of our daily work, whether in direct service to others or undertaken for the financial support of our community, is also offered to the glory of God.

"This is what I want,
this is what all of us in the Church
and the world want
from the Benedictines;
that they be truly monks...
seekers of GOD, lovers of GOD,
happy to live secluded
from the world but in a
communion of love with
their brothers in the world...
There will be no evangelization
without the contemplation
that is the heart
of the Benedictine life."

~Blessed Pope John Paul II
