Nun's on the Run!

This is inspiring! The nuns on the run is a great idea for getting their story out there. Look at what they have already accomplished with just a few of them. I am sure this group will succeed at building the monastery they are seeking. God is good! Hat tip to the Anchoress on this one:

The Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration of Our Lady of Solitude Monastery, currently being built in Tonopah, AZ, have chosen a unique way to raise revenue. As they have more young women aspiring to enter than they can currently house (with one new novice and a postulant hoping to enter, soon, they are full-up), the sisters need to fund the living quarters that will attach to their emerging chapel. So they have taken to running:

The sisters have a separate blog page to cover construction news and updates. I just spent quite the happy hour over there, marveling at how quickly a large chapel with dome can be raised when there are no weekly deposits of snow or days of biting rain.

You can check out the chapel appointments, which are very beautifully thought out, and the architectural plans here. And the metalwork!
