The Poor Clare Nuns of Perpetual Adoration, affiliated with the Eternal Word Television Network and Mother Angelica in Hanceville, Alabama, have made the courageous decision to extend their ministry to the San Antonio, Texas, community.
Recently, the nuns met with liturgical designer Rolf Rohn of Rohn & Associates Design to begin the preliminary planning for their new Monastery of St. Michael the Archangel. Rolf highlighted the importance of engaging experienced Catholic designers and sacred artists from the outset, ensuring the new space would fully support both their spiritual practices and functional needs as they envision a 300-seat chapel nestled at the base of the Texas Hill Country.
Following an energizing and inspiring discussion with Rolf and his team, the nuns visited the Monastery of the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of San Antonio to see how another cloistered community has thoughtfully designed their sacred space.
Rohn & Associates Design, Inc. facilitated this historic meeting between San Antonio’s two contemplative communities and is committed to helping the Poor Clare Nuns create a permanent space for prayer, reflection, and spiritual presence in the heart of Texas.
