Dominican Nuns Help Prepare for the Pope’s Visit
April 12th, 2008 by Fr. Pius, OP
In a detailed article on the preparations for the Pope’s visit to New York City, The New York Times mentions the contributions of the Nuns from Corpus Christi Monastery in the Bronx:
The Archdiocese has commissioned 530 specially engraved ciboria for the Mass, each of which will hold no more than 150 hosts. A total of 60,000 whole-wheat wafers, each 1.125 inches in diameter, were produced by the Cavanagh Company of Greenville, R.I., and donated by the Corpus Christi Monastery, a contemplative order of Dominican nuns in the South Bronx.
