This past May, 2013, a new Visitation Monastery was established in Celaya, Mexico!
How did it happen?
We will share the story a little at a time!
It all began on the Feast of Pentecost in 2012 when the Knights of Columbus brought a beautiful image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the Visitation Monastery in Aguascalietes, Mexico. The community had been thinking of making a new foundation, but they waited on the Lord to show them the signs that He indeed wanted one.
Over time, with support of Bishops and friends, it came to be seen that Celaya might be the location. As a matter of fact, this city ‘s patron is the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so central to the Visitation Order’s devotional life, and its motto echoed St. Francis de Sales, “the strength of sweetness.”
But much had to be done to found a Monastery!
