The purpose of this monastery is prayer. "The sisters' prayer request line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They pray a minimum of six hours a day.
"We receive as many as 50 prayer requests a day," Mother Anne said.
The sisters put their skill and talent to work on personalized Christian greeting cards for their prayer-card ministry. Each card is individually created. Every selection has a meaningful and inspirational text that relates to the individual for whom it is designed.
"It's not just sending a card," Mother Anne has said. "It is inviting people to become a part of our life of prayer." From Tribune-Star article (http://specials.tribstar.com/terrehautestop40/stories/carmelite.html)
