New website launched


Cloisteredlife.com is a new website developed to bring attention to the gift of cloistered and monastic life in the Church. 

Pope Benedict XVI has set Tuesday, November 21, the Feast of the Presentation of Mary, as Pro Orantibus Day. Pro Orantibus ("for those who pray") Day is a day of thanksgiving, solidarity, and support for the cloistered life. Cloisteredlife.com contains parish, school, and personal resources to celebrate and promote Pro Orantibus Day.

Cloisteredlife.com is sponsored by the Institute on Relgious Life.

From Our Founder

How different the holy Church would be this very day if, years ago, we had been filled with a spirit of humility and compunction, of patience and ready obedience, with the spirit of the Publican, who stood afar off, not venturing to raise his eyes to heaven, but only saying, “God, be merciful to me a sinner” (Lk. 18:13).
