Full Version: Article On Ros Moss' Community
The article is already out of date 
It says there are four postulants but last night Ros accepted another postulant to start with us as a founding sister so there are five of us plus Ros. The new postulant is from Indiana and will join us in St Louis in a few weeks.
A prototype habit has been made and Ros is going to look at it today. She is still making modifications and the kind Mother Abbess at the Poor Clare convent in Roswell has offered to send her an old habit to take apart and use for a pattern. Although our habit will be mostly Carmelite, Ros really like some things from the Poor Clare one as well, especially their veil! She is also reconsidering the color of our mantle, since this is mainly for use in choir - but the mantle hasn't been made yet so there is still time to make that choice.
The community officially received tax exempt status yesterday as well, so now all those people who have been offering donations will be able to claim them as tax deductions. And there have been many generous offers that Ros hasn't accepted yet because she was waiting for this.
After the movers have cleaned out the apartment on Monday, Ros is going to try to start going through the applications that have been sent to her, and to catch up on email. Right now the packing is never ending, but the sorting is the hardest part. There is this wonderful woman who takes things to poor families in Mexico, and she has been coming by to collect whatever is not being taken to St Louis. Now this woman is such a saint herself - so good and so generous with her time and energy. I am humbled when I meet such wonderful people - God is truly good.
Ros also said that she has given permission for the Mass and consecration to be filmed so this might end up on EWTN at some point. The media company wants to do a "before and after" during the summer, sort of a "reality" show - but oh how intrusive that would be! Let's hope she says no to that idea!
