 Monastery of Our Lady of the Desert: New Mexico
The Roman Catholic nuns of the Benedictine Monastery of Our Lady of the Desert shared the high desert environment near Abiquiu, New Mexico, with the monks of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert from 1997 to 2008. Their numbers have grown, and they have moved to Blanco, New Mexico (St. Rose of Lima Church) and are planning to build a new monastery in Gobernador.
Our Lady of the Desert was founded in 1990 to reflect the feminine expression of desert monasticism by Sister Ann and Sister Elizabeth. As contemplative nuns, they live a life of silence and solitude, seeking God by observing the Rule of St. Benedict. They are a multi-national community of 8 sisters from the United States, Guatemala, and Vietnam ranging in age from 37 to 77. Their work includes making, altering and repairing the habits for the monks of Christ in the Desert. Some sisters, who are skilled in certain crafts such as weaving or making rosaries, sell their crafts.
