Sister, are you saying that this community, the Mount Thabor nuns in Ortonville, has closed and the members transferred? Or are you referring to another community?

Precisely.  It was heartbreaking for all of us (a few of our Sisters--mostly externs--would regularly or occasionally go on retreat there, and of course we've been friends with them from the beginning), but there were only three left.  One went to Springfield/Girard, IL and the former Prioress and one of the original foundresses came here, which has been a joy for us apart from the otherwise saddening circumstances (and providential, as the latter has had serious unexpected medical needs come up that would have made things much more difficult for the former to manage on her own).  They are still working out the legal details, so I couldn't share them even if I wanted to, but basically they are closed and we have accepted their request to transfer.  Prayers are much appreciated!

Thank you for explaining.
