Monastery of St. Gertrude

The Center for Benedictine Life at the Monastery of St. Gertrude is an innovative monastic community sharing Benedictine life, values and spirituality with a large audience.

We are twenty-five sisters, over eighty oblates, four cohousing members, twenty-five employees.  We have a retreat center, museum and gift shop and a bed and breakfast.

We are located in scenic Cottonwood, Idaho near mountains, rivers and rolling farmland.  A beautiful, quiet rural area for people wanting a slower paced life, perfect for outdoor activities.
