Cloister Outreach Responds to Hypercriticism

Cloister Outreach is a private association of the faithful with international cooperators. The Coordinator, Gemma, is physically located in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. Cloister Outreach's main purpose is the support of religious vocations, particularly to the cloister, and to emerging charisms and their founders/promoters. Under canon law, we have a right to exist. Indeed, we are compelled to action by Christian charity, which is actually encouraged under canon law.



We have recently come under fire regarding one of our projects, the Cloisterite Hermits. We stand with the vocations attracted to that charism--which is an entity separate from Cloister Outreach--and are working to correct a situation brought to our attention by our critics. Please see the Reparatrix Anchoresses' blog for an explanation of said situation.
