DENVER — A group of cloistered nuns who have called Denver home for decades said they now need to move.
Quiet family homes are now bars and restaurants in the trendy Highland neighborhood. Tall apartments and condos tower over the cloistered nuns' once private prayer garden. "Some of the nights are really noisy, especially during the weekends. People talking or shouting in the street. I's became also a little bit more dangerous," Sister Maria de Cristo said of the neighborhood.
There are several benefits to the new location: peace and quiet in a rural area, more accessibility for elderly Sisters as construction was limited in the current location due to the building's historical status, and there will be a larger kitchen for baking their cookies.
