Saint Emma Monastery, Benedictine monastery in Greensburg, Pennsylvania
Saint Emma Monastery spans across spacious grounds with two wings constructed in 1960 and 1963, featuring gardens and prayer spaces.
The monastery began in 1931 when ten sisters from Bavaria's Saint Walpurga Abbey relocated to Pennsylvania to support Saint Vincent Archabbey.
The sisters maintain a cloistered life focused on the Liturgy of the Hours, Mass attendance, lectio divina, and personal spiritual development.
The monastery welcomes single Catholic women between 18 and 39 years old who wish to explore religious vocation through postulancy and novitiate phases.
The monastery served as the temporary residence for Bishop Hugh Lamb and housed the diocesan chancery during the formation of Greensburg Diocese in 1951.
