<\/a><\/div>\nDear Friends, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sharing some joyful news. Today, our Archdiocese welcomed six nuns from the Carmelite Monastery of Valparaiso, Nebraska, and four nuns from the Carmelite Monastery of Elysburg, Pennsylvania. They are transferring to the Carmelite Monastery of Saint Joseph and Saint Anne here in Philadelphia (The Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Philadelphia<\/a>).<\/span>As a result of these transfers, there is now a community of twelve nuns in the Philadelphia Carmel, which was founded in 1902. Since that time it has been home to generations of Discalced Carmelite nuns who have dedicated themselves to a cloistered life of contemplation and prayer for the good of us all. The Carmel is also welcoming a new chaplain, Father William Allen, FSSP.
\n<\/a>
\nTomorrow, Wednesday, July 26th, the Feast of Saint…Anne, all are invited to a Solemn High Mass at the Carmel and welcome to greet the new sisters in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153speakroom\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of the convent following the liturgy. Details are below.
