It is our joy and privilege to be the Guards of Honor of Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. Our community's motto is UT OMNES UNUM SINT, "that all may be one" (John 17:21). With this intention in our hearts, we offer our lives of prayer and contemplation to God through Our Lady for all the needs of the Church and of the world. Our Monastery chapel is open during daylight hours for those who wish to come and join us at Mass or the Divine Office. We also invite you to join us for the communal rosary and in our Eucharistic Adoration. The monastery prayer schedule can be found below in the Community page. We hope this site will help introduce you to the contemplative life of the Dominican Nuns of the Monastery of St. Jude. We invite young women seeking to follow God’s call to consider joining us in our life of prayer.

Since our foundation in 1944, the Dominican Nuns of the Monastery of St. Jude have devoted themselves to the contemplative life in the tradition of Saint Dominic, especially through Eucharist Adoration and the Rosary. As a community of cloistered Roman Catholic nuns, we are dedicated to serving God in the enclosure of our Monastery. Our way of life offers a powerful witness to the Church through our response to Jesus' command to leave all to follow Him. Throughout each day we gather for the solemn celebration of the Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours) and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the source and summit of our lives. As Dominican Nuns, we proclaim the message of the Gospel through our contemplation, Eucharistic Adoration, devotion to Our Blessed Mother and her Rosary, silence, enclosure, study, communal life, penance, reparation and intercession.
