Sister Loretta-Maria has founded an “autonomous” Carmelite convent in Florida, independent of any diocese.
The structure will be a purely private institution, a lay association of women living with private vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
Sister Loretta-Maria was one of a handful of Carmelite nuns who lived for six years at the Carmelite convent in Savannah, Georgia. The monastery was closed by the Carmelites in late 2022, in accordance with the Vatican instruction “Cor Orans” issued in April 2018. https://www.gloria.tv/post/8G93wfroymPT2Z2BCVWqLppyC
