Elective Chapter Held in Carmelite Monastery "San Giuseppe" in Fisciano (SA)
The Carmelite Monastery of San Giuseppe in Fisciano, Italy celebrated its elective chapter on February 23, 2026.
The foundation of the monastery was prepared by the Venerable Seraphina of Divine Providence but was brought to fruition in 1691 by Sr. Archangela Fortune (d. 1734). St. Alphonsus de Liguori (d. 1787) visited the nuns at the monastery frequently.
In addition to the activities typical of cloistered life, they also do small jobs to finance themselves (party favors, sweets, wreaths, handicrafts), welcome groups for retreats, and provide discernment for young people.
