Nice. Sisters of Life website. One of their apostolates:
Sacred Heart of Jesus convent, located in the heart of Manhattan, has been welcoming pregnant women in need as guests since early 1999.
A “Holy Respite,” it provides pregnant women an opportunity to be nurtured as they live side-by-side with Sisters, immersed in a deeply spiritual setting. This “spiritual tent” allows women a place to rest, to “get their feet on the ground again” and to grow in their authentic identity as women and mothers. After giving birth, guests are invited to remain at Sacred Heart for another four to six months to plan and prepare for a new beginning with their child.
