Order of Saint Helena

Order of Saint Helena The Order of Saint Helena is a religious order in the Episcopal Church for lay and ordained women. Our core values are:
1.

The mission of the Order of Saint Helena (Episcopal) is to show forth Christ through a life of monastic prayer, hospitality and service. Prayer
We celebrate the Holy Eucharist and pray the Divine Office daily. We practice individual prayer, intercession and meditation.

2. Hospitality
We offer an oasis of welcome for guests, both individuals and groups.

3. Service
We minister and serve where o

ur gifts meet the world’s needs.

4. Tradition and Innovation
We are women living communally under a vow of monastic poverty, celibate chastity and obedience to God. From Benedictine roots, we discern new ways to interpret traditional monasticism, striving to grow in diversity and inclusivity.

Looking forward to Sun June 7: Pentecost 2 (Proper 5)
Jesus saw Matthew at the tax booth and said to him, “Follow me.” And he followed him. He asked no questions about where are we going, what’s the plan, what’s my job—he just trusted and followed.

Looking forward to Sun May 24, Pentecost
“Suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind…. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them….” A crowd gathered and “each one heard them speaking in the native language of each… about God’s deeds of power.” Was this a metaphor, or a miracle of simultaneous translation? Either way, the Gospel speaks across time and languages and cultures.

Ascension Day
As [the disciples] were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight…. While… they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robs stood by them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus… will come in the same way as you saw him go up into heaven.”
