MONTREAL -- COVID-19 has not crossed the threshold of the Carmelite monastery in Montreal, where cloistered nuns still live. Even though the nuns rarely leave the convent, they were vaccinated against the virus on Friday. To protect themselves, but also because the vaccine, for them, is a gesture of solidarity with the Montreal community of which they are a part. The nuns rolled up their sleeves so that the pandemic finally stops. Here is a rare glimpse inside the walls of the Carmel. On Friday, Sister Marie-Monique was waiting in front of the solid wood door of the more than 100-year-old convent, located in the heart of the city.
