Our Lady of Tenderness Hermitage is the "desert space" of a consecrated Sister hermit/anchoress of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen. I live the eremitic/anchoritic life; an ancient form of consecrated life devoted to the praise of God and the conversion of hearts.
As a consecrated hermit/anchoress, I live within the silence and solitud
e of the hermitage, humbly dependent upon God's grace. My primary ministry of prayer and penance is offered for Our Holy Father, all bishops and clergy, especially the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese of Metuchen, the universal Church and every societal culture throughout the world.
A hermit/anchoress is financially independent of the diocese within which she belongs. I support myself through the creative work of my hands. Handwork sales help for the payment of personal needs. Although I am blessed, through the charity of a family, to live here rent free, donations help for payment of utility bills and other needs that aid me in living a life of solitary prayer and work for others. Our Lady of Tenderness Hermitage is a New Jersey non-profit corporation exempt from Federal income tax as a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code.
