           Our Lady Of Guadalupe Monastery -  First Project Of the foundation

 This was built in answer to Bishop Dean's prayer for a contemplative Monastery,  located in the beautiful hills in  the  Barrio
Cabaon-an, within Ormoc City,  Philippines. This was funded by private donations and several fund raising's in California.                 
   This was blessed and dedicated by Cardinal Vidal on June 25, 2001.
     
    This Monastery started with 8 Poor Clare nuns from Mexico of the Clarisas Capuchinas Sacramentarias Order. They are in             
    perpetual adoration of the blessed Sacrament, praying for the whole World and the Church, therefore they have
been approached by many requesting prayers.
Some of their needs are met by making and selling vestments, bread, cookies and corn chips, but the support of
the community are still needed. They are blessed with new vocations, and after 5 years, there are now 15 nuns in the                       
     monastery.

UPDATE: 2010
With more benefactors helping them now, they were able to build the following:  
  *     Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe overlooking the monastery...
  *      a formation house for the novices...
        a reception area for visiting families of the nuns.  
They still make vestments, bake bread, chips and cookies as income.  Their vocation continue to grow in number.  

  The nuns who are from Mexico are now able to converse and pray well in the Filipino language.        
Through the kindness of donations, and with the Grace of God, the first phase      
  has been completed:  THE MONASTERY of OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
