Women’s retreat

Single women between 18 and 45 years old are invited to attend the annual Monastic Living Experience weekend at the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood, Idaho. The Benedictine Sisters will host the July 1-4 event.

Participants will be able to experience monastery life along with working on the monastery grounds and gardens. There is no charge; participants perform labor in exchange for room and board.

Advance registration is required. For more information contact Sister Corinne Forsman at (208) 962-3224 or via email at gertrudvo@juno.com.
