A group of religious Sisters from the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles in the United States are now settled in Staffordshire, England, at Colwich Abbey on a permanent basis.
The news comes following the story which broke earlier this year, revealing that the Sisters were looking to acquire a monastery in Europe after experiencing difficulties attaining a visa for a Dutch postulant.
After having set up temporary residence for some of their European Sisters in a makeshift religious house in the family home of a Sister who hailed from England, it was discovered that the historic St Mary’s Abbey nearby at Colwich – which has noted connexions to St Thomas More – was for sale.
