Corpus Christi Monastery, Dominican monastery in Bronx, United States.
Corpus Christi Monastery is a Dominican convent in the Bronx where nuns live in community. The facility includes spaces for prayer, personal reflection, and shared monastic life activities.
The monastery was established in 1891 as the first Dominican convent for women in the United States. Its founding marked the beginning of this religious community and its mission in America.
The Dominican sisters maintain daily Eucharistic Adoration from early morning until after Compline, dedicating specific hours to prayer for priests and seminarians.
Visitors can join at times when special events and religious services are held. It helps to plan ahead to learn when these gatherings take place.
The nuns spend multiple hours daily in silent prayer and contemplation. This deep commitment to personal spiritual practice has shaped the community's identity since its founding.
