Cloistered Nuns

To talk or write about the Carmel of Cerreto, in the province of Grosseto, could be just a hypothetical discourse or a deduction, because it is a seed which is in bud; tomorrow it will grow into a plant, as Jesus says in the Gospel about the mustard seed. It is more exact to talk of the Carmel of Cerreto than of a monastery,

The Carmelite friars, who had been in Tàrrega for several centuries, came to know that there was the possibility of founding a monastery of nuns in their city. The prior at the time, Fr. Miguel Basagañas (Cat), took advantage of the presence of the then bishop of Solsona, Mgr. Vicente Enrique Tarancón, in Tàrrega, to suggest that the proposed foundation be one of Carmelite nuns. The bishop gladly agreed, because the Carmelites were willing to give spiritual assistance to the nuns.
