Sister Mary Agnes Bregula, a Carmelite nun from Wroclaw, Poland, arrived in Salt Lake City this week to join the Holladay Boulevard monastery, after vowing to spend a life of poverty, obedience and chastity. Sister Bregula came to Utah at the request of the Reverend Mother Mary Ann Krajicek. The 33-year-old nun will join nine other nuns - ranging in age from 30 to 90 - at the monastery. Through a translator, she told reporters at the Salt Lake International Airport that she plans "to live in silence and prayer in service to the Lord."
