Cloistered Dominican Nuns of St. Jude

In 1944, the Dominican Nuns of St. Jude were founded in Marbury. They are Cloisterd, Contemplative, and Monastic (their saying).

They are a branch of a the French Dominican order, founded by Father Saintourens and Mother Rose of St. Mary. The nuns' crisp-white habit has not changed since! Hurrah! They are very devout, and very pious.


This is the picture found on their homepage. Of course, though there are many, many more. They seem to be very orthodox, and I believe that they do have the TLM.

Here is a copy of their daily schedule....
