The Sisters of St Mary in Peekskill live a vowed life in
Community, centered around the daily Eucharist and a
five-fold Divine Office. Each sister has time daily for
private prayer and study. Our way of life is a modern
expression of traditional monastic practice including silent
meals in common, plainchant in English for much of our
corporate worship, a distinctive habit, and a measure of
enclosure.
The Community of St Mary is the publisher of The
Monastic Diurnal, a marvelous enhancement to the daily
office of the Prayer Book, but one that sadly does not
include traditional language, so its usefulness
is severely limited.
