Benedictine Sisters of St. Paul’s Monastery entrust Hill-Murray School with stewardship of property and financial resources

The Benedictine Sisters of St. Paul’s Monastery in Maplewood, Minnesota, have entered into a covenant called Mutual Blessings to entrust the Hill-Murray School with the stewardship of the monastery's property and financial resources. The agreement was formally announced on Oct. 20 following approval from the Vatican.

Sister Catherine Nehotte, the prioress of St. Paul’s Monastery, said the sisters considered several options for their future, including transitioning to hospice or elderly care. The community currently has 15 members and an increasing median age. Sister Catherine stated the sisters chose to partner with the school to ensure their values continue through the youth.
