We are Dominican cloistered Contemplative Nuns. We live in a monastery totally embracing the papal enclosure . We were founded by St. Dominic in 1206 before he founded the Dominican friars In 1216. We were founded with the express intent of praying for the success of the Dominican Preaching and the world . Our whole life as nuns of the order of preachers is harmoniously ordered to preserve the continual remembrance of God . In the year 1965 twelve nuns from Our lady of Grace Monastery, North-Guilford CT, USA, sailed to Africa to found a Dominican monastery in Nairobi – Kenya. They were invited by the then, Archbishop John Mc Marthy C.S.S.P of Nairobi diocese.
His intention was to bring to Nairobi – Kenya, a complete cloisteredContemplative Nuns who would perpetuate the divine grace to assists East Africa develop to mutuality, sanctity, and peace which is based on love of God expressed in love of neighbor, by perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and the recitation of the holy rosary.
The formation of a Dominican contemplative nun is a process that involves several stages, designed to help her grow in her spiritual life, deepen her commitment to God, and prepare her to live the unique vocation of a cloistered religious life. Formation is a gradual process that can span several years and is deeply rooted in prayer, study, community life, and personal transformation.
My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
