graciandelamadrededios Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 This Carmel was repopulated with Polish Nuns. Morristown Carmel was involved in controversy with nuns protesting in the late 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicanHeart Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So the Morristown Carmel isn't closing right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graciandelamadrededios Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 No, they are not. They have reached the 21 members which the constitutions of St. Teresa stipulates that a monastery can only have 21 nuns; special permission needs to sought to increase these numbers in view of a foundation. They are founding a new monastery in Malta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with the current community, half of whom probably weren't even born then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
