Sisters of the Dominican Convent in Xilitla
The Dominican Monastery of the Saint Dominic Order of
Preachers was founded in 1972 and started with ten sisters
who came to Xilitla from Morelia, Michoacan. The primary goal
of the convent is "evangelizing through prayer and example."
The nuns earn money for the convent by selling homemade
pastries, sweet liquors, and religious objects. The convent offers
space to young women interested in living as a nun; the
youngest nun ever recruited by the convent was a 6 year old orphan.
