Yes, we're still up and running!:) I'm "Gemma" (foundress2003) from the Society of Our Lady of the Cloister, and "Christine," the former moderator, gave us...
I am new also here but not new to discerning my vocation. Hi Gemma, If you do ever get "Our lady of the Cloister" going, I'd like more information on it! ...
+JXP Welcome, Jessica! So encouraging to see new members! We are in the process of drawing up the proposal for all of our new communities. We have to wait on...
+JXP Christine: You may want to pass on to these sisters that the simple lack of a veil is probably impeding their progress. All of the discerners I've worked...
... Ever since I was a teen and then when I was 1st discerning, I had always thought of the full habit and vail as a sign of Gods grace, a way for those who...
Praised be Jesus Christ! Okay, I admit it, I'm a head coverer. I love chapel veils and I love this site. I have never ordered anything from them before but...
+JXP Yes, I've transacted business with Halo-Works. We're on their "favorite links" page, too. I get hits from them nearly every day. I found nun-paperdoll...
+JXP Hey, Christine! Have you seen the updates at Blessings Nun Dolls? They've put in pictures of the nun dolls on some of the orders, and talk about unique!...
Would you consider founding a covent that would have a special devotion to animals and the enviroment? I would really love to be part of that kind of...
+JXP Perhaps that explains the quick, mind's eye "vision" of a black habit with green trim. The headdress would be pointed, like the old veil of the medical...
The sisters of Our Lady of Lasalette. They are active sisters and I've never run across this site before. http://www.geocities.com/lasalettesisters/ Yours in...
+JXP O, St. Gertrude the Great, Model of total fidelity to the Heavenly Bridegroom, and to your Cistercian Rule, the Lord was pleased to make available...
Hello, This is my first posting. I am grateful for you. I was in a Chat Room tonight supposedly for religous vocations. I ended up leaving.The person I was...
Praised be Jesus Christ and Welcome! It is strange how strongly people react when a person expresses the importance of wearing a habit. I think they are very...
I liked your question, and no you are not being snoopy. I have recently started looking so I have not contacted too many orders. One of the issues I am...
I understand about the age limits. That can make it a little tougher. I know that the benedictines on Shaw Island Washington have a novice in her 50's. Just...
As far as active or contemplative I am leaning towards contemplative. That is not to say I am not open to an active order. I just need to see a deep consistent...
Brenda, I am new to this website but I am "old" in life. I read what you said "but why I keep fighting I don't know." I understand how you feel because God had...
+JXP Makes a lot of sense. I'm dismayed whenever I see sisters living on their own. Canon Law says that religious life is made up of communities living...
Dear friend, I don't think you are being critical. This is a legitimate concern for those in discernment. I started my journey visiting modern orders and this...
They got mixed up with some weird sort of group therapy in the early sixties and with in a year over 300 of the 500 or so sisters had left the community. The...
+JXP I bet y'all didn't know that the psychologists who led that group stuff came out a few years ago and said that they went in there to deliberately bust up...
Hi.. My name is Serena and I am in the process of converting to the Catholic Church. I was baptized as an adult in the episcopal church but for a few years...
You have raised some very good questions. The first answer is to keep on praying. Out of prayer the answers will come. Also patience, trust me it is not going...
... Yes they did. They have feminist bookstore in San Fran. and website etc. They are doing all that new age healing, buddist meditation stuff that's become so...
Praised be Jesus Christ! Welcome Serena! I'm a convert as well. Are you going to join this coming Easter Vigil? It's so beautiful and I could never even begin...
Praised be Jesus Christ! I've been reading Julie's blog for a while now as she discerned her vocation. Well she left yesterday to enter with the new class of ...
