There are 137 convents and monasteries listed in and around Hudson,

Hi Theodora,

I suppose you already know that “Theodora” means “Gift of God,” right?
 Beautiful name.

I’m sorry I can’t give you a list of convents or monasteries in or
near Hudson.  There is one seminary, St. Joseph’s, which is located in
Yonkers, NY and has several branch locations, one of which is in
Poughkeepsie, which is just south of Hudson.  However, as you may
know, part of the religious life is often seclusion from the world,
and so it’s not always easy to find monasteries or convents, as those
who live there would rather not be disturbed, and so don’t often have
websites or advertise their whereabouts.  As Tutuzdad-ga has said,
probably the Switchboard.com list includes Roman Catholic facilities,
but you’d probably have to call them one by one to know.

However, Hudson is in Columbia County, NY, part of the Diocese of
Albany, and the Archdiocese of New York.  I’d suggest trying a local
parish priest at St. Mary’s in Hudson first.  It is located at 429
East Allen St. Hudson, NY  12534, Phone (518) 828-1334. Just for
example, there is a convent connected to the parish school, where the
sisters live who teach in the school, but they don’t have an online
presence.

If you can’t get any information at St. Mary’s, you might try
contacting someone at the Albany Diocese, here: http://www.rcda.org or
the Archdiocese of New York, here: http://www.ny-archdiocese.org/  If
your reason for asking is that you’re interested in possibly pursuing
a vocation to the religious life, here’s another resource you might
try, the “National Vocation Religious Conference,” here:
http://www.nrvc.net/

Best of luck.  I’m sorry I couldn’t find the list you were hoping for.
 Perhaps another Researcher will be able to help you, or hopefully one
of the above links might send you in the right direction.

Regards,
Byrd

Hello theodora,

I've also struck out in finding anything for you.  I do agree with
byrd-ga that there may be very little web presence due to their
cloistered lifestyle.   We have a monastery in the vicinity but I
doubt you'd know it's there unless you knew Catholics in the area. 
It's very word-of-mouth.  You might try contacting Sacred Heart and
discussing your needs with them directly.

Sacred Heart/Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine
442 Fairview Ave., 
Hudson, NY 12534
(518) 828-8775

Since many of these groups are very 'old school, I also tried the
additional search terms:

Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter
Tridentine Mass
Sedevacantists
Norvus ordo missae

Good luck to you and sorry we couldn't be of more help.
