Poor Clares in Memphis Closing Their Monastery

[Luigi]

I found this information on the website of another Poor Clare monastery. The Memphis Poor Clares don't have any information about it on their web page, but they haven't update that page in quite a long time.

Our Sisters Marguerite and Claudia from Memphis reached out to us in the spring Their monastery, which was founded in 1932, and established a flourishing community in Guatemala in 1981, is now down to only four members. The decision has been made for two of the sisters to go to Cincinnati, however, Sisters Marguerite and Claudia asked if they could visit us during this time of decision making and change. Both sisters have been with us for several days with plans to return. We have extended an invitation for them to join us after they close their monastery so, together, we can discern what will be their next step. In the meantime, some of our sisters have been traveling to Memphis to assist them in accomplishing this huge task of closing their home.
