The Benedictine Sisters of Boerne, founded in 1911, live on a hilltop campus bought in 1962, where they have run a retreat center, a wellness center, a thrift store and a border ministry at Eagle Pass.
What it needs
After years of long-term planning the sisters are preparing to sell part of their property: about 12 acres at 216 W. Highland Drive, most likely including the Health and Wholeness Center opened in 1990. Sister Bernadine Reyes has written that they hope to find individuals or an organization who would be good stewards of the property. No asking price or agent has been published.
Before you act. Only part of the campus is to be sold and the community is not closing. The March 2026 report said the land was expected to go on the market soon; no listing for it could be found, so whether it has been listed or sold is not confirmed.
In June 2026 the community announced that, for the health care and safety of its members, it would relocate from Holy Name Monastery to the American House senior residence in Zephyrhills over the following months. The sisters say information about the future of the monastery property will be shared when available; gifts support the sisters' care and their remaining ministries.
The prior's message on the monastery's site says the monks accept that they will not survive as a community and are in the process of turning over ownership of the monastery to the Missionary Servants of the Word, who already operate the retreat house. The monks continue their life of prayer there and accept online donations.
