Our Mission & Vision
The Sisters Come To Share Christ’s Love
“In my visit with the Bridgettine Sisters in Rome, I told them how happy and excited I was that they are now with us in Columbus. They assured me they are praying for the Church in Columbus. Very much like the plans for the Columbus convent/ guesthouse, the Bridgettine Sisters are known for their hospitality. Their guesthouse in Rome is a very beautiful place with simple rooms, where they provide meals and help pilgrims to make their visit in a very spiritual way; different than just any hotel. There is a chapel on site; it is a place of prayer, and simpler than other places but certainly very dignified and comfortable.” Quote from Bishop Brennan
