In 1963 they joined the Benedictine order through an affiliation with Saint Benedict's Convent in St. Joseph, Minnesota. They once again became an independent monastery in 1994. The doll is wearing a light gray dress, light gray veil, and white wimple. A metal cross hangs from a black cord around the doll's neck. A rosary hangs from the doll's waist.
