Gen Z at the Nunnery?

‘I feel the nuns have been expecting us. They knew our last nerve would disappear at some point.”

The quote is from a piece in Vice. (How perfect is that?!) “Gen Z Women Are Booking Convents Instead of Beach Houses This Summer.” The subhead reads: “Move over, shared beach houses and Aperol spritzes. This summer, a growing number of Gen Z women are checking into Catholic convents and monasteries instead — on purpose.” They are not staying for good. Convents typically have “come and see” weekends for women who want to observe religious life, but the young women discussed in the article are not considering becoming sisters. Convents are offering a service to an overwhelmed population in need of quiet time with God.
