The monastery was founded in July 2019 and counts 25 nuns. It is the fourth foundation of the flourishing Carmelites of Valparaiso, Nebraska.
In a press release, the nuns who live in closure dedicated to prayer alone, ask for prayers calling the visitation a “stressful trial.”
The nuns’ chaplain is Father Maximilian Mary Dean, a former member of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate who were de facto dissolved by Francis after an Apostolic Visitation.
