The Sisters of St. Benedict will host a presentation on the Story of Creation and the Cosmic Walk at Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand on Wednesday, September 4, at 6:30 p.m. EDT at the Benedict Hospitality Center. In the event of rain, the presentation will be rescheduled for Thursday, September 5, at 6:30 p.m. EDT. This event is free of charge.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the Story of the Universe and Creation, as understood through scientific discoveries, all from the comfort of the Benedict Hospitality Center. Following the presentation, attendees can explore and experience the Cosmic Walk, a walking meditation that offers a reflection on the presentation’s themes. The Cosmic Walk is a 0.5-mile path through the woods on the grounds of Monastery Immaculate Conception, providing a serene glimpse into our sacred origins. For those unable to walk the path, the experience can be accessed via PowerPoint slides.

The Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand form one of the largest Benedictine communities of women in the United States, with over 100 members. They seek God through the Benedictine tradition of community life, prayer, hospitality, and service. The sisters are dedicated to being a presence of peace and joining others in the common search for God. The Monastery Immaculate Conception was founded in 1867 by four young Benedictine sisters who came to Ferdinand to educate the children of area settlers. Since then, more than 1,000 women have entered this community, which now extends its ministries beyond education and the borders of Ferdinand, with members serving as teachers, social workers, parish ministers, counselors, nurses, youth ministers, chaplains, librarians, and more.
