A Group of Catholic Trappist Nuns Leave Nicaragua after 22 Years of Prayerful Life in the Country

A group of Trappist nuns, who were 22 years in Nicaragua, have left the country. A dozen Trappist nuns left Nicaragua. The sisters released on their Facebook page that they voluntarily left the country for reasons of the Order, lack of vocations and the old age of several sisters. This is the second order of religious sisters that have left Nicaragua; as in 2022 the Missionaries of Charity were forced to leave. 

“We, the Trappist sisters of Nicaragua, have voluntarily left the country, for reasons of the Order, lack of vocations, the old age of several sisters, etc. We will always remain united in prayer, in friendship and in the affection that the Lord has given us during these 22 years... Our new destination is Panama. A big fraternal hug to everyone and our thanks”, is the message that Sister Fabiana delivered to the Police in Nicaragua.


Before leaving, the nuns handed over the convent, monastery and property to the Diocese of Chontales. 

 Although the nuns did not refer to their migratory situation in Nicaragua, 100% Noticias learned that two weeks ago the General Directorate of Migration and Immigration began to summon various religious and foreign missionaries for new requirements for permanence in the country.

The Trappist nuns are a contemplative Order of the Catholic Church.
