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.
