Thank you so much for starting this thread. I love pictures!!!!

So glad you were able to post these super pics !! Thanks for sharing.

Yup, not PCPAs.

Thanks for the great photos.I'll have to look up the Sisters of the Home of the Mother on Google.
I know there is an order in England called the Sisters of the Holy House of Loretto.They were founded in Italy and have convents in other places in Europe,but no convents here. Maybe those are the nuns you call Sisters of the Home of the Mother.

Actually I don't think they're Carmelites, though their habit does look VERY similar. And I didn't know there was a... little person in the Sisters of Life?

The Photos Continue...perhaps a vocational spark will light in some young..or old, ladies heart!

EJames,
Hello! That picture of a Little Sister of the Poor is Sr. Cornelia - She is here at the Little Sisters' home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Oh, wait til she finds out that she's on the web! Sr. Cornelia is from Germany. We are blessed to have her here in Cincinnati (a fine German city!).

EJames - I have some Salesian photos that I just know our Salesian discerner friends would enjoy seeing! How can I post these or send these to you to post?
(pardon by ignorance about the picture posting process...)

God bless & thank you for sharing. These are inspirational! Let's pray that it moves hearts to pray and opens hearts to respond to the Lord's promptings.

FaithfulRoseofMary

wow great, i do understand that that picture is from France, so she must have been there at one time.
you may email me pics via the email link in my profile, or you can upload them to Flikr, or hotlink.com, or imageshack, or photobucket, then link them on here., via the photo button.

Carmel Montmartre

That is interesting, the way the viels are sort of pinched, very cool.

I like the one of the sisters hickhiking.


Eastern orthadox sisters.



The Daughters of Mary, who I had never heard of before, not sure where they are from

Daughters of Mary are a "traditional" congregation. Vocations can't be part of the Novus Ordo church. They're affiliated with the Society of St. Pius V, though I don't know exactly what the Society's stance is.

Yup, the Daughters of Mary are not in union with Holy Mother Church.

Awesome! I've never seen Orthodox Sisters before. I am assuming the one with the pectoral cross and larger head-piece is the Abbess (Or whatever she may be called in the Orthodox tradition)

Yes, that is indeed their abbess. I thought it was cool too. I have never seen orthadox sisters is person, though.

I could have when I was in Ukraine, but I did not. I did see a few monks and priests though! Even the Patriarch of Kiev

Yes, she is an Abbes, in English.
here are pictures of Eastern Catholic (Ukrainian) Nuns..i spent et all 2006 Great Lent and Pascha in 2 Ukrainian Monasteries..and know a few Sisters as well...didnt have a camera though..



Byzantine Carmel in France

Byzantine(Ruthenian) Carmel in USA

The Society of St Pius Vth are Priests and Bros and Sisters ,that broke from the Traditionallist Society of St Pius X, and do not accept allot of the Second Vatican Council, as being a legitimate Council, and many are Sedevacantists, believing their has been no lawfully elected Pope since Pius XII

Get ready for some Nashville Dominicans!!

Lovely photgraphs.......Keep them coming !!!!

they're so beautiful! i feel so in love when i see nuns. if i see one that is extra pretty and doing something reverent, it feels like my heart is going to burst. almost to the point where i feel kind of "wrong" almost. maybe because it reminds me of Mary.
oh how i wish everyone were in habits or at least dresses and veils, instead of the torture i have to go through each day at school or at the gym.. funny, i once was told i should move to the middle east.

if you think that's bad, sometimes i have to stop by a catholic girls school with all these girls in short skirts looking like britney spears. it gets so bad that i have to keep my eyes glued to the ground or else i'll pass out.

speaking of which, i've seen nuns with skirts that seem a tad too short. what's going on there?!

Yeah, its kinda spooky when I wear longer skirts then some nuns ( and mine are not even that long )

you keep being the way you are!

the pics are great! could you get some of SMME?? that would be cool!!

The Nashville Dominicas have posted pictures of the new chapel and Easter, just to let everyone know

Nashville Dominicans...

Ok then
i have their promo video on my Blog

More Nashville Dominicans...











Easter Vigil 2007

My friend Patti will be entering the Nashville Dominicans in June!

Really!? Awesome! I'm sure I'll meet her come the fall. Is she on pm?

Just a random question. Does anyone know how many of the SMME are finally professed? And when does the next group make perpetual profession?

The Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara (servidoras del Senor y la Virgen de Matara) have a lot of pictures on their website. They even have some Eastern Rite Sisters.

It's always nice to post a few pics that are from one's own experience with religious.
Ah, each pic has a story... but that's for another time.

God bless

These are the Servants of the Lord and the Virgen of Matara

Hey, that is me!

WOW!! Those pics of Salesians at Camp Auxilium are so surreal to see! That seems like ages ago! When this pic was taken.. i was a camper there, and about- 11!
