History
The Carmelite Nuns requested to move convent from Macau to Edmonton as they were concerned about their religious freedom with the pending return of Hong Kong from British to Chinese control in the early 1990s. On September 25, 1989 the sisters sent formal invitation from AB MacNeil to come to Edmonton. Four years later on May 31, 1993 they celebrated the blessing and foundation of monastery in Devon.
