Dominican nuns and friars say they are committed to maintaining nuns' legacy at Hollywood's Monastery of the Angels.
For 90 years the Monastery of the Angels was home to a cloistered community of Dominican nuns who lived, prayed and baked their famous pumpkin bread on the rambling four-acre property tucked into a hillside in the heart of Hollywood.
“Our sisters loved the Hollywood Hills community, and we look forward to working with the friars, interested parties, and the neighborhood to ensure our beloved monastery can continue to be a blessing to all,” Sister Maria Christine Behlow, the former prioress of the monastery, said in a statement.
“Faith-based organizations have been declining in terms of their numbers, and now have a lot of surplus or underutilized land,” Dutra said. Instead of selling their properties to the highest bidder, many of these organizations want to ensure that their land continues to serve the greater community.
