About Monastery Baked Goods

All of our artisan goods are handcrafted with care at our monastery in Ferdinand, Indiana. Each of our wholesome gourmet delights captures the rich spirit and natural artistry of the Sisters and supports their ministries. We are one of the largest Benedictine communities of women in the United States — over 110 members strong and thriving. We were founded in 1867 by four young Benedictine sisters who came to Ferdinand to teach the children of area settlers. Since then, more than 1,000 women have entered our community and we’ve expanded our ministries both beyond education and beyond Ferdinand. We serve as teachers, social workers, parish ministers, counselors, nurses, youth ministers, chaplains, librarians, and more.
