  We are an international community of nuns who are living in the former convent of St. Clare in Senden near Münster since 2024. In our convent there is always a lot of work to be done in the garden and also in the house; so we are happy about any help in the house, garden and, if necessary, in our workshops.
  We are also always ready to invite you to our prayer times, our Bible sharing or other activities of our life.

  The work with us will mainly be helping in the garden, in our greenhouse, in our flower beds, mowing the lawn and weeding. We also need help in our large monastery, with cleaning, possibly also with painting and organizing rooms. And occasionally we will also need help to finish our handicraft products like soaps, jams, candles etc.
