The Benedictines of Mary Queen of Apostles, who follow the Roman Rite, are expanding.
According to their Spring 2024 newsletter (8 May), the community will grow to more than 70 nuns this year.
The motherhouse is in Gower, Missouri. They are putting the finishing touches on a new convent in Ava, Missouri, and preparing to move into a recently vacated convent of the Poor Clare nuns in Evansville, Indiana. Some sisters from countries outside the USA are experiencing difficulties with the immigration department.
Now, together with Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham, they have also decided to move to St Mary's Abbey in Colwich, Staffordshire, north of Birmingham.
Colwich Abbey was founded by the great-great-granddaughter of St Thomas More, with nuns who were forced to leave England for France during the Elizabethan persecution, and had to flee back to England during the French Revolution.

Francis has nightmares when he hears things like this
It's telling that one group that the government is denying permanent resident status is Catholic women seeking entrance into traditional contemplative monasteries. Guess if they were young men from Muslim countries, they'd sail through immigration procedures!
