Throughout the years, the sisterhood has been engaged in ongoing construction work. Stage 1 of the project was the building of the monastic quarters. Stage 2 is the main Church (currently under construction) and stage 3, the visitors building (future development).
The monastery follows the coenobitic rule of monastic life: a sisterhood of nuns holding all things in common, who keep a daily schedule of prayer and work under obedience. The feast days of the monastery are 14th September and the 28th July. Pilgrims are welcome to visit the monastery on appointment by phone (02) 4374 1657 or email: holycrossmonastery@bigpond.com.
