The Benedictine Sisters
Related Links
Since the founding of Donnelly College in 1949, the Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica have remained steadfast contributors to the college's success.
Our mission has remained strong after nearly 60 years, reinforced by the 122 Sisters who have given more than $4 million in services and showcased the Benedictine values of hospitality, community, service and listening.
The college is most grateful to the Benedictine Sisters and the profound impact that continues to be created from their vision and dedicated service.
