Not long ago St Emma Monastery became an independent monastery after years of being dependent on their motherhouse, Abtei St Walburga, Eichstatt, Germany. Mother Franziska Kloos set the nuns of St Emma's out on their own now as a canonically established conventual priory! The formal installation with a blessing of Mother Mary Anne by the Bishop of Greensburg, the Most Reverend Lawrence E. Brandt happened on April 18.The 12 nuns, including 1 novice, live the monastic life.
Be sure to read the recent newsletter (at link above) which tells the story.
Let's pray for the first Conventual Prioress, Mother Mary Anne Noll.
May God be glorified!
