The Convent of Mary of the Angels in Wattwil, Toggenburg, is closing. The work has become too much for the elderly nuns. The seven remaining Capuchin nuns are packing their bags and moving out. It's a sad farewell. The sisters have spent decades within the convent walls, and now they must leave. How are they feeling so close to leaving? Katrin Keller visited the convent again and met Sister Johanna Sutter there.
