Our Mission & Vision
The Sisters Come To Share Christ’s Love
The arrival of the Bridgettine Sisters in Columbus heralds a beautiful mission of sharing God’s love through their exceptional gifts of prayer & hospitality for the Unity of the Church. Their presence in our community offers a place of peace and a home for authentic Catholic formation. As we set forth on the path to construct the Chapel and Guesthouse, let us draw inspiration from the Sisters’ steadfast dedication to ensuring that all who cross their threshold are embraced, cherished, and spiritually uplifted. This journey is a testament to their unwavering commitment, and with your support, we can build a haven where God’s love and hospitality shine brightly for all to experience.
Eucharistic Revival
Joining the Sisters for Mass (MTRF 7 am, Weds at 4pm, Saturday at 8:30am and Eucharistic Adoration (every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9-9) can be transformative. The Bridgettine Order’s spirituality centers on a deep love for Christ and the fullness of liturgical worship. Spending time with Jesus and receiving Him can truly change the world
Expanding the Mission
We see two potential fundraising goals: the chapel and a retreat house. A House of Peace, which we fondly call a “guest house,” will offer rooms for various purposes, such as accommodating patients’ families from the local hospitals, travelers, and groups on retreats. This expansion aligns with the Bridgettine Sisters’ mission to provide comfort to anyone in need while remaining devoted to God and their vows.
Beacon of Joy
The Bridgettine Sisters have been a beacon of joy and spiritual nourishment, bringing people closer to Christ through their unwavering commitment to Prayer, Adoration of Our Lord, Hospitality, and Unity of the Church
Rest and Renewal
The Bridgettine Sisters’ mission is to provide a place of peace and comfort for those in need of rest and spiritual renewal.
Living the Beatitudes
The Sisters’ work is a testament to living the Beatitudes. In addition to carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders in perpetual prayer in the presence of Our Lord, the Sisters also prepare over 250 hot meals 4 days a week for the Holy Family Soup Kitchen. That is 52,000 hot meals a year.
Authentic Catholic Formation
Since they arrived in Columbus in 2017, the Bridgettine Sisters have brought a remarkable and distinctive change in the city’s spiritual landscape. Their presence is not just about establishing another religious entity; it represents something truly extraordinary. We are blessed to have the Bridgettine Convent as a place of authentic Catholic spiritual formation for women and men!
The Chapel as a Symbol
The construction of the chapel is a critical step in furthering the Sisters’ mission. It will provide a space for Adoration and peaceful prayer—a sanctuary where individuals can escape the chaos of the world and find solace in communion with God. Additionally, this contemplative aspect of the Bridgettine order will serve as a community of prayer for a growing and expanding area, welcoming those in need of temporary respite—a true “sojourner” dependent on goodwill.
