Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration is a Roman Catholic religious order founded by Sister Mary Anselma in Clyde, Missouri at the Benedictine Convent of Perpetual Adoration in 1874.

The order was created as an adjunct to Conception Abbey founded in Conception, Missouri to minister to German and Irish immigrants.

Houses

The order has houses in:
*Clyde, Missouri
*Tucson, Arizona
*Dayton, Wyoming
*Sand Springs, Oklahoma (now a lay monastic ashram community after the order left in 2008)

Its house in Clyde has 550 documented saint artifacts -- the biggest collection in the United States.

The house traces its roots to the Convent of Perpetual Adoration at Maria Rickenbach which is near the Engelberg Abbey in the Swiss Alps

Benedictine Sisters Monastery (Tucson, Arizona)

A landmark church and working monastery for the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, in Tucson, Arizona, USA. The building is widely acknowledged as a classic of mission style architecture.

The Benedictine Sisters first came to Tucson in 1935 at the invitation of Bishop Daniel Gercke. In 1940, they moved into the Spanish-Renaissance-style Benedictine Sisters Monastery, which was designed by architect Roy Place, who also designed the old Pima County Courthouse, Tucson's veterans hospital, and some notable campus buildings of the University of Arizona.

More information will be found on the monastery website: www.tucsonmonastery.com. There is no connection between this monastery and Mother Katherine Drexel, who founded a different religious congregation.

Low gluten hosts developed by the group

The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, MO, after ten years of perseverance, trial, and error, produced a low-gluten host safe for celiacs and also approved by the Catholic Church for use at Mass. Each host is made and packaged in a dedicated wheat-free / gluten-free environment. The hosts are made separately by hand, unlike the common host which is stamped out of a long thin sheet of bread by a cutter. Therefore, each host is a slightly different size and shape. Most importantly, the finished hosts have been analyzed for gluten content. The gluten content of these hosts is reported as 0.01 %. In actuality, the gluten content is probably less than 0.01%. Sister Lynn, OSB, said that the result of the analysis of the finished host revealed "no gluten detected". The hosts are labeled as 0.01 % since the lowest limit of detection of this analysis was 0.01 %. In an article from the Catholic Review (February 15, 2004) Dr. Alessio Fasano was quoted as declaring these hosts "perfectly safe for celiac sufferers."
