Ministry

Ministries of Yankton Benedictines

We are women who seek to serve God, God’s people and one another as Christ would serve.

We are women who:

• Bring comfort and healing to the sick, the dying and the lonely.
• Carry out Christ’s mandate “to go forth and teach all peoples” by serving in elementary, secondary, collegiate and parish settings.
• Who walk with others on their spiritual journeys through prayer, re-treats, spiritual direction, campus, parish and pastoral ministry.
• Serve the poor, the marginalized and the voiceless.
• Are committed to care for planet Earth as good stewards.
• Collaborate with and empower others through our sponsorship of Mount Marty College and Avera Health.
• Believe in the importance of beauty in our lives and in the lives of others through music and art.
• Serve one another daily as TOGETHER WE SEEK GOD.
