Nuns to stay in sanctuary for holiday
Five Carmelite nuns who locked themselves in a wing of their Morris Township convent for 11 weeks say they will spend Christmas there. The standoff with prioress Mother Teresa Hewitt centers on alleged liberal changes to their austere life. Christmas Eve midnight mass will be observed from behind a curtained grating as benefactors bring food and fruit. Two sisters face expulsion as temporary vows expire in January and February, with the prioress noting the need to leave.
