Monastery of St. Michael the Archangel

Sacred Story

THE EUCHARIST IS THE HEART OF THE CHURCH. WHERE EUCHARISTIC LIFE FLOURISHES, THERE THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH WILL BLOSSOM.

ST. JOHN PAUL II

As a Franciscan community of Poor Clare Nuns of Perpetual Adoration, our essence is a common life of contemplative prayer grounded in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in a spirit of thanksgiving. Being conformed to our Divine Spouse through this life of intimate prayer, and following in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, and our own Mother Angelica, we then give joyful witness to Him to the world outside the monastery through appropriate, evangelical apostolic activities.
