The Carmelite Nuns in Ostuni, Italy, Celebrate Their Elective Chapter
From March 11-13th, the Carmelite community of the monastery of St. Mary Maddalena de’ Pazzi celebrated its triennial elections. The monastery is located in Ostuni (Brindisi) Italy.
In 1730 the Carmelite nuns from the town of Fasano made the foundation in Ostuni. The community survived the suppressions of the last century; two other Pugliese monasteries (Putignano which was founded in 1552 and Fasano, founded in 1631, was the founding monastery of Ostuni) were closed. In 1975 the community left their monastery in the city center and moved to a new monastery.
The monastery belongs to the St. Mary Maddalena de’ Pazzi Federation. More information can be obtained by visiting the community's webpage.
