I haven't a clue about this convent, from an old CI thread... But I like this initial? letter:

Dear friends and benefactors,
As Chesterton said in Tremedous Trifles: "I didn't create the world and I didn't make it paradoxical. It's not my fault, it's the truth, the only way to get to England. The only way to go back is to go elsewhere. The only way to get to England is to get out of England!" Similarly, we apparently have need to "get out" of our beloved Church so that we can finally "get in!" Even if many of our friends do not understand the meaning of this decision, one day, everyone will understand that Jesus died outside our beloved Jerusalem, while He was the Temple.
Just as Elijah was persecuted by the king and queen of Israel, many are persecuted by the official authorities of the new Israel, the Holy Catholic Church, to restore the altars of the Lord God and their true worship with the Holy Mass. Today, we thank Mgr. Lefebvre and all those who work kept Tradition for us, the workers of the last hour, which, without merit, can enjoy the ineffable goods of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church!
We do not use images from the monastery or writings exalting a particular person or community. But this bulletin is the way to show the true face of monastic life - so that
the "world" sees what it often does not know, or thinks he is dead, like the "God of Nietzsche"!
Monastic life is not a life "easy," full of "smiles" and parties as we are trying to do today. Nor is it an impossible life to lead, without joy and "abnormal."
Join us in this adventure and we can understand together what is this traditional monastic life that enchants some people very much, and annoys others. No one can see it, except from a distance, but it cannot cause indifference, always leaving a question, a question....
This may seem like a certain narcissism on the part of our community to feel too much "persecuted and victimized," but its not with the intention of publishing such. About us! We are a very small minority who "suffers" for the Faith...But in one they all meet. And in our little story, others can find relief and answer, encouragement and company in the journey to the Principle and Reason for everything: God! We have therefore decided to no longer be solitary... why keep quiet?
Let's move on...until He comes and with Him takes us with all those who desire His Kingdom!"
