Anchorage nun’s cloistered life was focused on prayer, saving souls
Mother Josefina was a cloistered member of the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. She began her religious life at age 19 in 1937. She moved to Alaska in 1985 with a small contingent of nuns who settled in Alaska 30 years ago. The sisters established a cloister in Anchorage at the urging of a group of local laity and an invitation from then Anchorage Archbishop Francis Hurley, who was first acquainted with the order while a child.
