• We are women who believe that prayer is central to our lives as the Benedictine Sisters of Yankton.

• We are women who gather together each morning, noon and evening to praise God in song, psalms and spoken prayer in the Liturgy of the Hours.

• We are women of the Gospel who are nourished by Eucharist, and who in turn strive to be Eucharist to others.

• We are women who spend time each day in personal prayer and lectio--the reflective and meditative reading of Scripture.

• We are women who break open the scriptures through weekly faith-sharing.

• We are women who "listen with the ears of our heart" to the Spirit's call into the unknown future as TOGETHER WE SEEK GOD.
