MISSIONARY BENEDICTINE SISTERS OF TUTZING

St. Benedict Monastery, completed and dedicated in 1991, lies on the edge of the city of Torres Novas, about 15 miles (25 km) from Fatima.
One wing of the building is a nursing home for the elderly and offers jobs for 22 employees. The monastery with its beautiful church is the work of an architectural firm available to the town’s projects.
The 12 sisters work in their own nursing home as well as in the neighboring retirment home (Casa de Repouso), a facility belonging to the “Misericordia” Fraternity designated for needy persons.
The sisters take care of altogether 115 elderly, sick and handicapped persons.

The sisters also do catechetical work with children and youth, lead Bible groups, and do pastoral ministry in the local hospital.The beautiful chapel is frequently used by groups to celebrate the Eucharist.

From time to time the sisters of the priory meet in the monastery with their oblates for celebrations, discussions, days of recollections and instruction. At those times the wealth of many cultures shows itself in impressive ways in an international community.
