founding
The monastery was founded in 1924 by Sisters of the Motherhouse of the Congregation of the Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration . The monastery building with the adoration church was built according to plans by the Paderborn architect Alois Dietrich.
The women religious belong to the third foundation of the Steyler Missionswerk and are popularly called "pink sisters" because of their pink religious costume. The religious congregation was founded in Steyl in the Netherlands in 1896 .
tasks
The “pink sisters” live contemplatively , in other words in the quiet and seclusion of the monastery. They have the special task of constant adoration and solemn choral prayer . In addition to the times of common divine office , the sisters alternate day and night in silent adoration in the church .
The sisters also conduct a pastoral apostolate in letters. This is especially helpful for fellow human beings in difficult hours, grief and need through comforting and encouraging words.
Religious sisters
In 2018, 24 sisters aged 41 to 88 from Germany, Austria, Poland, Brazil, the Philippines and the USA lived in the Trinity Monastery in Bad Driburg.
