Welcome to the friends who have been following us on our website, joining our monastic journey through the journal, and continuing with us on our spiritual road through the mountains. You may live too far away to visit. You may be the neighbors who attend our Sunday liturgy, the retreatants who tell us how grateful they are for our guest facilities. You are an indispensable part of our lives, and we want to thank you for your encouragement, love, and prayers.
Welcome to those who have just found us here. We hope you too will become friends and companions the journey long.
Welcome as well to the women who have come to our website in response to a voice in the heart hinting at the possibility of a monastic response to God, a life's vocation with the Cistercians of the Southwest. Whether or not you find your answer at Santa Rita, we hold your search in prayer and deep respect.
