Public Project
A Cloistered Life
Being a contemplative order the sisters' vocation is prayer and they spend the majority of their day praying for all the people of the world. Additionally, they spend time in bible study, painting, gardening or walking in the cloistered garden with wonderful view of the new World Trade Center. Cloistered off from the world the sisters rarely leave the grounds unless for medical or other significant reasons.
Even visitors are required to visit on the opposite side of a divided wall when visiting. After several months the sisters allowed me into certain areas of the monestary and permitted me to join them in prayer.
