Man, when I get my license, I cant wait to attend my first IRL conference! Haha, as you can tell, I am desperate.

amanda, the arch diocese take a group of every year. the Sisters in Jesus the Lord organize and take a coach bus down. here is the info from their website I pasted.



Fri.-Sun., April 13-15, 2007 Chicago Trip! National Meeting of the Institute on Religious Life in Mundelein, IL. This trip is open to people ages 13 and up: youth, laity, priests, consecrated, and religious! This will be the seventh year for Sr. Julia to lead a group of people ages 13-30+ to this wonderful weekend at Mundelein Seminary outside of Chicago. Over 50 different religious orders are represented, and it is a wonderful opportunity to meet priests, brothers, and sisters, while gaining a healthy respect for religious life!

Our special group rate: $175.00 per person (scholarships are available) which includes transportation by coach bus to and from St. Paul, MN, the three day conference, lodging (at Mundelein Seminary), meals, and a banquet. The recipient of the award at the banquet this year is Fr. Thomas Dubay, renowned author and speaker.

We look forward to a large group again this year--some years we've taken as many as 40. This conference is always held on Divine Mercy Weekend, the weekend after Easter. Contact us today!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow.... that is so cool that people come by bus. I never noticed that.

Does anyone know what other orders will be there??

I know a couple that might be obvious, but other then that, not really.

There are, from what I understand, usually your beloved Dominicans, Sisters of Mary Mother of the Church, CFRs, Carmelites, Franciscans... all kinds....

and of course, us!

Anyone going to be in the Columbus, OH area around lunch time on Friday, April 13th? We will be passing through and would love to meet up with some of ya'll!
