Sister Teresa: The Co-Housing Project Monastery of St. Gertrude's Podcast
-
- Christianity
In this episode, we rejoin Sister Teresa Jackson, who we first met in Episode 4, when she shared with us how she came to join St. Gertrude’s after feeling called to the monastic life.
Like many of the Sisters, she wears several hats at the monastery but taking center stage right now is her role as the Coordinator of the Co-Housing Project, a visionary new community at the Monastery that plans to open in the summer of 2021. This project will provide a space for single women who want to be part of a Benedictine community but are not necessarily called to a vowed life. Sister Teresa gives us insight as to what this new community will look like and how it is designed to meet the current needs of the community-at-large, while also helping the Monastery continue to evolve to meet those needs.
