***Please note: the Cloisterites are now Congregational Recluses for the CAMM-ACMM Sacerdotal Division. Should vocations
be attracted, they will branch off and form their own religious institute. Please see the "Ministry-to-Charism"
page.***
Welcome to the Cloisterite Family website. Here we
will be answering questions about the Secular Stella Maris Contemplatives (Lay Cloisterites) and the Stella Maris Contemplatives
(Cloisterite Hermits or Cenobites).

The first years of an institute require of one who desires to enter a vocational grace capable of
overcoming the unique difficulties associated with the beginnings of any new institute. The problem is even more felt
today in view of the declining number of vocations.

a Religious Institute: Process
