• Sisterhood of the Holy Nativity

The Sisterhood of the Holy Nativity is a Religious Order of women in the Episcopal Church. It's special dedication is to the Incarnation of our Lord. It's special focus is bringing others to know Christ. The Sisters live in a community and observe daily monastic offices and the Holy Eucharist. They work in parishes, retreat centers and church camps. Among their activities are religious education, retreats and other outreach ministries.

• Community of Saint Mary

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.

• All Saints Sisters of the Poor

 The All Saints Sisters of the Poor are the American Branch of a Society founded in England, and which came to Baltimore in 1872. We are a traditional religious community, living under the evangelical vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. A mixed Life of Prayer and Work enables us to be flexible in meeting whatever needs and ministries present themselves.
