More REAL nuns

[this_ol_patriot]

The Sisters of Saint Basil were my school and catechism teachers all throughout my childhood and a real influence in my life even today.

Here is a different sort of monastery near my hometown.

Holy Annunciation Monastery belongs to the Order of Discalced Carmelites, whose contemplative charism is the legacy of its founders, Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint John of the Cross. This Order is dedicated to a life of prayer. We are the only Carmelite Monastery in the Western Hemisphere belonging to an Eastern Catholic Rite.

They also breed miniature horses.
