The Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand will launch their own podcast, “The Sisters on the Hill,” on Wednesday, March 18, 2026. The podcast is recorded in the monastery’s podcast studio at Monastery Immaculate Conception, which was made possible through a generous grant from The Women of the Rule. The program will feature meaningful conversations, stories, and reflections from the Sisters as they discuss daily life in their community, how each of them was called to religious life, and the ministries in which they serve.
Future episodes may also include conversations with Oblates, supporters, and associates from other organizations. The goal of the podcast is to share the life and work of the Sisters in a meaningful and engaging way while offering listeners a deeper look at their faith, mission, and community.
The Sisters invite the public to listen to the first episode when it airs at noon on March 18 on major podcast platforms, including Apple, Spotify, Pandora, and others. Listeners can subscribe on their preferred platform or online at www.thedome.org/podcast. Updates about the launch and future episodes will also be shared on social media, including reminders, highlights, and additional news as the Sisters count down to the debut.
The Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand make up one of the largest Benedictine communities of women in the United States, with more than 95 members. The community follows the Benedictine tradition of prayer, hospitality, community life, and service to others. Through their work and ministry, the Sisters strive to be a presence of peace while joining others in the shared search for God.
Monastery Immaculate Conception was founded in 1867 when four young Benedictine sisters arrived in Ferdinand to teach the children of area settlers. Since that time, more than 1,000 women have entered the community. Today, the Sisters’ ministries extend beyond education and far beyond Ferdinand, with members serving as teachers, social workers, parish ministers, counselors, nurses, youth ministers, chaplains, librarians, and in many other roles that support communities across the region and beyond.
