Cloistered Nuns Gathered Adjacent to the Chapel

In the heart of what is now the East Dining Room, cloistered Visitation Sisters once gathered in quiet reflection just steps from their beloved chapel. This space, originally part of the monastery’s east wing, served as a daily retreat for prayer, teaching, and spiritual renewal. Witness to the rhythms of monastic life, it echoed with hushed voices and gentle footsteps, preserving an atmosphere of reverence.
