A World Apart

Lois Bernstein

The Virginian/Pilot & Ledger/Star

Story Summary, Six Trappistine nuns live in the hills of Virginia, twenty miles outside of Charlottesville. They have come from the mother house in Wrentham, MA to set up a new monastery. While they build the monastery, the six live in two log cabins on 500 acres of rolling pastureland. Here they will spend the rest of their cloistered lives. Caption, Sister Mary Beth shares a 3 a.m. scriptural reading at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery near Charlottesville, where she lives with five other Trappistine nuns.
