Benedictines of Jesus Crucified
1 Who are the Benedictines of Jesus Crucified and where is the monastery?
The Benedictines of Jesus Crucified, Monastery of the Glorious Cross in Branford, Connecticut is a place in which a cloistered congregation of nuns share a communal life of prayer and self sacrifice.
2 What is so special about this community?
Since its foundation, the community has welcomed women with disabilities. Despite substantial impairments and often chronic pain, the sisters spend their days in prayer and sacrifice. At this time, the sisters' disabilities are compounded by advancing years. The average age of our sisters is 73 years old.
3 What are our needs?
The community savings is slowly being depleted while health care needs, living expenses, and building maintenance costs are increased. Although a dedicated group of volunteers helps in many areas, they are unable to meet all the needs. We know that our cause is but one of many to which you are asked to contribute. We have never in the past collected funds even during masses. Our situation is now such that we pray for your charity in whatever amount you are able to give. You will be in our prayers.
