This article tells of the suppression of the Northern Ireland convent:

The website for their sister-house in Ireland is no longer up.

Here’s the website for the motherhouse in Paris. I find it peculiar that they’ve closed the public chapel until sometime next year. Site will require translation.

The first article really took the wind out of my heart-sails. That was one of the reasons why I hadn’t been posting the last few weeks.

This is really sad, especially when you consider they had four sisters in formation. Sounds like they were doing something right, and there was new life being breathed into the community.

I think Cor Orans might be responsible, just like the forcing of the Passionist nuns into a Congregation.

If this is happening to L’Adoration Reparatrice, which is indigenous to France, I “fear” for other, small indigenous congregations who don’t have many members.
