The Monastery of the Blessed Sacrament in the Archdiocese of Detroit was established as an act of thanksgiving to God on the seven hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the Monastery of Our Lady of Prouille by the Blessed Father St. Dominic. Mother Mary Emmanuel Noel, one of the four American foundresses, and six other nuns left the Monastery of St. Dominic, Newark, New Jersey, came to Detroit on Passion Sunday, April 1, 1906, to bring Dominican contemplative life to Detroit.
