Put your passion to work. Two openings available on our Mission Advancement team.

If you’re looking for a position that connects your head and heart to a mission you can love, the Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand, Indiana are looking for an Annual Giving Assistant and an Administrative Support Specialist & Event Coordinator to join their Mission Advancement team.

As an Annual Giving Assistant, you’ll play a crucial role in the processing of daily gift deposits from multiple sources while managing the Mission Advancement database and assisting with the direct mail program, annual giving processes, and technology troubleshooting. Bring those strong written and verbal communication skills, and a technical specialty program certification, an associate degree, or comparable experience. You’ll want to have a basic knowledge of technology, strong computer skills, and basic accounting skills. Have experience with Blackbaud or similar Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database? That’s a plus!

As Administrative Support Specialist & Event Coordinator, your plate will be filled with things from reporting, correspondence, coordination of calendars, and preparing reports to organizing special activities and events — all in an upbeat, positive and fast-paced atmosphere. In the Administrative Support Specialist part of the position, you’ll help keep the department organized and maintain files and lists.  You’ll not only schedule meetings, you’ll prepare the agenda, take great notes and write the minutes.  There will be correspondence to write and proofread, phone calls to direct, materials to coordinate and reports to create. And as Event Coordinator, you’ll — wait for it — coordinate events!  That means managing an event calendar, planning the details, making sure committees get what they need, researching new prospects, pulling lists for invitations and generally making sure events are a big win for everyone.

The Sisters of St. Benedict offer accumulating PTO hours that roll over each year, healthcare, dental, vision and life insurance, HSA benefits, retirement plan, paid holidays, discounts at various entities, and more! 

And unlike any other job, here you’ll find yourself welcomed into the community of the sisters, enjoying a deep feeling of belonging and care you won’t find in most workplaces.  Plus, you’ll work in an actual monastery — how awesome is that?  You’ll love it.  And it will love you back.
