SHAW ISLAND, WA, United States
I am a Benedictine nun living on a small beautiful island in the Salish Sea, off the coast of Northern Washington. The main purpose of this Blog is to introduce new Saints, esp. of the 20 & 21 C , as well as other relevant Church news. And also to show snippets of our life, our prayer, our farm with its many animals, and other facets of our monastic life.
