Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand to Launch New Podcast on March 18.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 11, 2026

FERDINAND, IN — On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, the Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand, Indiana will be
launching their own podcast, “The Sisters on the Hill.” Recorded in our podcast studio at Monastery Immaculate
Conception, which was funded through a generous grant from The Women of the Rule, the podcast will feature
meaningful conversations, stories and reflections from the Sisters as they discuss daily life together, how God
called each of them to religious life, the ministries in which they serve, and more. Future episodes may also
include conversations with Oblates, supporters, associates from other organizations and more, all with a goal of
sharing the life and work of the Sisters in a meaningful and engaging way.
The Sisters invite and encourage the public to listen to the first episode when it airs at noon on March 18 on
all major platforms, including Apple, Spotify, Pandora and more. Anyone can subscribe to the podcast on
their platform of choice or at www.thedome.org/podcast. Updates will be featured on social media, including
reminders, highlights, and additional news there as the Sisters count down to launch day.
The Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand make up one of the largest Benedictine communities of women in the
United States — over 95 members strong and thriving. They seek God through the Benedictine tradition of
community life, prayer, hospitality, and service to others. By their life and work, they commit themselves to be
a presence of peace as they join their sisters and brothers in the common search for God. Monastery Immaculate
Conception was 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 this community. Their ministries extend both
beyond education and beyond Ferdinand, with members of their community serving as teachers, social workers,
parish ministers, counselors, nurses, youth ministers, chaplains, librarians, and more.
