Recluse Sisters

Recluse Sisters

The Recluse Sisters are a Roman Catholic community of Religious Sisters who were founded in 1943, in Alberta, Canada, by Rita Renaud, Jeannette Roy and the Reverend Father Louis-Marie Parent, OMI, as Les Recluses Missionaires. They are a monastic Order which includes perpetual adoration of the Eucharist, and an accent on prayer, silence and solitude in a cloistered way of life, which includes the Liturgy of the Hours (the Divine Office).

Their inspitation is the recluse Jeanne LeBer (1662-1714), who lived in the early days of Montreal. Today's Recluse Sisters live in two monasteries, both in Quebec, in Montreal and St Jerome.
