Abbey of St. Walburga
  Benedectine 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.

Prayer

CHAPLAIN NEWS:

At this time our Abbey is in need of a resident chaplain. Our chaplain of two years, Fr. Joseph Brown, CPPS, had to return to his community in early November of this year.  He was indeed a blessing and we were sorry to see him leave.

                                                                            













If you are a Catholic priest and would be interested in serving as our chaplain-- even if just for a short time-- please contact us.  We would be glad to discuss what the job entails and anwser any questions you might have.
