Description

In 2009, the members of Red Plains Monastery decided that it was in their best interest to merge with a larger community. They chose to become a part of Mount St. Scholastica in Atchison, Kansas. Since then, five members of the community have moved there and six have continued their ministries in Oklahoma. Their ministries have a long and rich history, beginning with the establishment of Peace House in Oklahoma City in 1980. It became a center for education and advocacy on justice issues such as nuclear arms, women's issues and assistance for refugees. The work they began continues under the capable direction of others.

The sisters will turn over this legacy of education and spiritual formation to Mary Diane Steltenkamp, Joanne Forgue and Kay Britton, who will work closely with the Archdiocesan Offices of Pastoral Ministry and/or Worship & Spiritual Life.
