East-Orange (USA)

In reply to the call of Archbishop John J. Myers, the Sisters came to the Archdiocese of Newark, northern New Jersey, to be witnesses of their religious life, through contemplative prayer life and fraternal charity. Their Priory is located 109 Telford St, in East Orange, NJ 07018.

Their apostolate is twofold.

On one hand the Sisters are involved in Parish life, working together working together with Fr Frederick Pfeiffer, Pastor of St Joseph Parish. They strive to be attentive to the needs of their inner city neighborhood through visits, CCD, Bible Studies, religion classes at the Parish school and all that which is part of a Parish life.

On the other hand, two Sisters are more involved in Campus Ministry. They are part of the Newman Center staff in Newark downtown at University Heights, serving four Campuses: Rutgers, NJIT, Essex County College and UMDNJ.

All are welcome to join the Sisters for prayer. Due to apostolic activities prayer times may change on occasion. Please call before coming.

Thursday is the Desert day. The Sisters pray the offices in solitude. The Blessed Sacrament is exposed for adoration during the afternoon until evening.
