Transfiguration Monastery is a small country monastery located in a beautiful setting on Route 79 in Windsor, New York. Maintained by Sister Donald Corcoran, OSB (Cam.) and Sr. Jeanne Marie Pearse, OSB (Cam.) the monastery provides visitors with a place for days of prayer, contemplation, and study. It is part of the international Benedictine Order and belongs to the Congregation of Camaldolese Benedictines. St. Romuald, its patron, was an early eleventh century Benedictine who had a special charism for blending life in community with solitary monastic life.

The Rule, written in the sixth century by St. Benedict, is the foundation of all Benedictine life and is studied and followed in this place and visitors and monastics join together three times a day to prayerfully chant the Liturgy of the Hours in English. Jean and Katharine are oblates of Transfiguration Monastery, meaning that they are lay people who have associated themselves with the monastery and its mission.
