The Texas Nuns are Poor Clare Nuns of Perpetual Adoration who left Our Lady of the Angels Monastery in Hanceville, Alabama in the summer of 2008.  Filled to capacity, and with a waiting list for women to enter, in 2007 it became very evident that God was calling us to found a new monastery in Texas.  With the invitation of Archbishop Jose Gomez, the permission of Bishop Robert Baker, and the blessing and prayers of Mother Mary Angelica, we set off for our new home in San Antonio.

Following in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi and our own Mother Angelica, we seek to fulfill the prayer of the Church offered at every Benediction service: May the Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection at every moment in all the tabernacles of the world, now and until the end of time.
