The Health and Wholeness Center, a ministry of the Benedictine Sisters of Boerne, opened in 1990. It serves as an ecumenical “home away from home” for individuals ages 50 and older. Its overall purpose is to address the needs of the whole person by providing programs designed to enhance the wellness of body, mind, and spirit.

The success of the Health and Wholeness Center is due in part to its philosophy for volunteerism which embraces a theme of “Seniors Serving Seniors”. Nearly 30 members volunteer throughout the year at the Health and Wholeness Center in various capacities including program leadership, and grounds beautification.

The Center offers activities Monday thru Friday including water exercise classes and lap swimming in an enclosed, Jr. Olympic size pool with regulated temperatures.

Regularly scheduled art and fitness classes are also offered as well as opportunities to socialize.

Ages: 50+.

Liturgy of the Hours:

St. Benedict placed a high value on the Liturgy of the Hours, exhorting his monks that “nothing is to be preferred to the Work of God.” Throughout the centuries, the Liturgy of the Hours has remained a defining element of monastic life.

The Liturgy of the Hours, based on the psalms and prayed daily in the monastery, is a means of praising God. This prayer is a means for us to remember the needs of all people in every part of the world, and an opportunity for the community members to reflect and transform their own lives. This daily, sustained attentiveness to God, characteristic of monastic prayer, engenders a contemplative spirit which flows into all other aspects of our lives. With one’s heart resting in God’s abiding presence, all of our work, activities, and ministry become a prayer.

Guests are welcome at both the Liturgy of the Hours and at the Eucharistic Liturgy.

The Benedictine Sisters pray multiple times daily, and we would be happy to remember your special intentions in our prayers.
