There were some more Communities there -- I forgot to post these:

Marian Sisters of the Diocese of Lincoln

The Sister on the left is from the Benedictine Sisters of St. Walburga

The Community of the Beatitudes is in Denver. They were founded in France by a protestant couple that later became Catholic. They now have 1500 members around the world!
They were not at the conference -- we stayed with them for a couple of days. They allow people to come stay with them to discern their vocations (that's not why we were there) -- It's a program called the "School of Life". Very interesting Community.

Wow! Great pics -thank you! I actually have a folder from the IRL conference (last spring at mundelein) about the "Here I am" conferences. The director gave it to me for the rector at the Cathedral here in St. Paul, in the hopes we would have one! (there you go alterdom:) ) We've had some turnover in priests, so, I'm just dropping it off for the new rector in the next few days.
My only concern, is that it's open to any sisters. So, a bunch of heterodox sisters can come... how did you deal with that in Denver? How did it work out?
Lastly, aren't the Benedictines of Walburga cloistered? If so, how was sister able to come i.e. what's the process for them?
Thanks!
Blessings,
