Many thanks cruciverbalist for your confirmation
I think you might find that it is Observance. Check out http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06281a.htm the 13th paragraph!
Question Author
The Compact Oxford English Dictionary has a definition of Observancy as a house of the Observant order. There is also an 1876 reference to the word being a convent of monks.
