Thanks for the link on the sisters.I see that they now are in Florida.I'll have to get their address and write them for information which I can place at church.Trying to do my little part to spwan more vocations.

ohh one of these was in the brothers thread! i was just wondering about them. thank you! i love they're brown habits!

They are at Assumption Parish in Jacksonville, FL.

And at Ave Maria in Naples.

In Jacksonville, they would somtimes have "Sisterbucks" where they would have some of us over to have coffee and just hang out. They were pretty awesome!

Do they have a site?

She is not. She is currently a youth minister at a parish near my home.

I love those nuns! They were just awesome to be in the presense of, although I know no Polish!

do the ones, even in the US speak only Polish??

The sisters here in North America (Canada, Arkansas, Wisconsin, and Illinois) speak both English and Polish... though my friend is their first American-born vocation.

ohhhh ok!! thanks! do you HAVE to speak polish to enter?? lol!

Nope, not here in the USA. A little of the Polish has rubbed off on my friend, though. She may end up going to study in Poland during part of her formation... so who knows. But no, the sisters communicate quiet well in English.

yes, when i find what i did with it, ill put it.
The site is only in Portuguese since the Community exists only since 1996 and is only in Brazil(all over), and Ecuador.

Do these sisters have a website? Where are they located? Does anyone know why some of the tunics are grey and some are brown?

Thanks!! that's pretty cool!!

It could just be the color fading from the sun or something, I'm not sure.
Why are the sisters hands wrapped up...I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the ceremony but what is the symbolism/meaning behind it?

Have you been to visit/met them before? I just met them the other week, on their way back from visiting Benedictine College in Kansas. They're so fun!

I'd love to meet them!

Poverty They take what they can get.

They are a hoot! I met them in February at the Here I Am Lord Conference in St. Charles. They invited me to come visit sometime. They are not far from where I go to school.
Also, sorry if I confused anyone with the Polish... But when I was with them at the conference, they had found some Sisters from Slovakia and a Polish priest, so a large portion of my time I sat in awe of their jovial-ness and love and joy as I could not understand what they were saying to each other! It was amazing. Amazing, amazing Sisters. One of the Sisters shared her vocation story in a small group that weekend and it was so simple and so beautiful.
I will try to visit them sometime soon to say hello and perhaps catch up a little. I have Sister Margaret's business card.

That is pretty cool!

the habits are faded light brown to dark brown, poverty and sun,,yes..

THey go through a type of Old Rite symbolic anointing of the hands ,ready for SERVICE and offering 'with empty hands'..and as in all anointings in the past, one would wrap them, as a sign of the sacredness, and protection..

wow. i've never heard of that before. that's cool. the past...meaning they did that in the old testament or something?

Before reforms of the Second Vatican Council, Priests hands of course are Anointed in Consecration, still, but usually not wrapped

Glory to Jesus Christ!
hello, i have posted photos of their male counterpart in vocations thread under http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=68072
They are Indult, in so much as the Founder and at the MotherHouse and thiern priests can celebrate the Tridentine(Pius X)Mass, or Novus Ordo in Latin Ad Oreintum.but out in the field and other Houses if need be they assist the Mass of Paul VI.
They are based in Brazil

Postulant/Novices Class



I love how one Sister has spoon in both hands stirring

Wow! You never see photos of Le Barroux! I remember when they were founded. I was a teenager and I thought FRANCE! I can't speak French! And I knew I couldn't really learn it because I grew up in a bi-lingual family and my mom gave up trying to teach me the Hail Mary!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos! Such large cells!
I thought they had more Americans. A lot entered from St. Mary's in the '80s

Great!, well it is difficult for Americans to maintain, in European Communities i find.
the cells arent as big as the picture implies, its a wide angle corner shot.
the photos are 5 years old..
i hoped to capture some pictures from last years Church Consecration video,, but i dont think the DVD is working on this computer:(

ohhh the abby of the annunciation looks very interesting.

ohhh the abby of the annunciation looks very interesting. so, they're in france??

as always some pretty cool monastic life is in France, but a Monk at Solesmes told me once, dont worry about language..spending the rest of ones life inside the walls, gives one alot of time to learn.
( but the huge amount of silence makes thatlearning a challenge).

Her habit is beautiful! It almost looks like a wedding dress.

Yes, i find the' Community of the Beatitudes' habit (both Sisters and Bro's ) is amongst my favourite, as you see in pics below, they wear all white for simple professed, but at Perpetual Profession below, they receive a brown Scapular,..the brown Scapular, signifies the cross, and the white habit signifies the Resurrection...

My sister thinks she has a vocation with that order. She goes to the Sanctuaire Saint Sacrement nearly every day, if not every day.
