The shocks of the earthquake that from the end of August have been hitting the centre of Italy, struck the monasteries of Iesi and in particular the monastery of Camerino. A large section of the ancient city of Camerino has been destroyed and for that reason the seven nuns, including one novice, have been forced to leave their monastery. The more senior members have been welcomed by the community in Sogliano al Rubicone, while the younger ones, thanks to the assistance of the nuns in Cerreto, have moved to the monastery in Montegnacco. While we heartily thank these monasteries for the solidarity they have shown, we are close to the sisters of Camerino in affection and prayer, and to all the families that have been affected by this awful disaster.
