Expelled Carmelite Nun Founds Autonomous Monastery
The structure will be a purely private institution, a lay association of women living with private vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
Sister Loretta-Maria was one of a handful of Carmelite nuns who lived for six years at the Carmelite convent in Savannah, Georgia. The monastery was closed by the Carmelites in late 2022, in accordance with the Vatican instruction "Cor Orans" issued in April 2018.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider supports the project and has sent a letter with his blessing, writing: "The desire of the sisters is to serve the Holy Roman Catholic Church as an autonomous monastic community for the greater glory of God, the salvation of souls and the preservation of the Traditional Latin Mass."
And: "May the blessing of the Almighty God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, descend upon this work and remain forever!"
The convent will begin with the construction of the building. It is unclear how many women are there and who will celebrate Mass for them.
