On April 27, 1910, five brave Passionist Nuns first set foot in America traveling from the first monastery in Tarquinia, Italy to start the new monastery of nuns here in America. On July of that same year, three American postulants entered the order and thus, Our Lady of Sorrows Monastery, in Pittsburgh, was born. The sacrifices of these first nuns were rewarded by the spread of new foundations. Saint Gabriel’s Monastery was founded here in the Scranton Diocese in 1926. First located on Monroe Avenue in Dunmore, and later at St. Gabriel's in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. It closed in 2020. The Passionist Nuns of Clark Summit were a contemplative community witnessing to the primacy of God and the love of God revealed in the Passion of Jesus Christ. They lived this witness in a contemporary lifestyle inspired by a tradition of prayer, solitude and Gospel simplicity at the St. Gabriel's Retreat Center in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. The Passionist Nuns, lived their lives together in the grateful memory and celebration of this Paschal Mystery according to the charism of their founder, St. Paul of the Cross. They shared in the precious gift of contemplative life and consecrated themselves totally to the mystery of Redemption. They did this by seeking to advance more and more in that knowledge which the Apostle calls "the folly of the cross," which in reality is the most eloquent testimony of the Gospel - the message of love.
