“Work­ers of the Vine­yard” is a con­vent of the Chaldean Catholic Dio­cese of St. Peter the Apos­tle, USA, who have promised their gifts for ded­i­cated ser­vice to Christ and his Church in order that they might grow in holi­ness by fill­ing the needs of the Dio­cese and their
com­mu­nity, as direct­ed by the Eparchial Bish­op.

The Work­ers of the Vine­yard first began in 2007 as a house for dis­cern­ing lay women. It was estab­lished by His Excel­lency, Bish­op Sarhad Yawsip Jam­mo as a house for young women to enter and dis­cern the will of the Lord. Today, the Work­ers of the Vine­yard is a con­vent of reli­gious sis­ters. On May 10, 2012, two of the orig­i­nal mem­bers who joined made their Final Vows.
