Rome: accomodation in convents

Has anyone stayed in religious accomodations in the historical centre of Rome (or close to Vatican) during Christmas week?
E-mails of any religious institutes (convents, etc.) will be very helpful.

We liked it very much- plain and simple but very peaceful.

Type Fraterna Domus into the Fodors search box and you will get 35 posts with lots of information about it.
