Tridenteen Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 JMJ I always celebrate Write Your Priest/Nun/Seminarian a letter day. It is celebrated religiously every other Monday. Now, who do you guys write to? Also, I am curious...when you made your first vocational inquiries, did you email, call, or send a letter? And what is your favorite stationary? I always use saint stationary, and deep blue fountain pens.....although I have toyed with the idea of sending a hot pink ink written letter to my priests/seminarians [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/lol_roll.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTheresa Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 AAAAAHHHH!!!! Not meaning to brag, but I know too many priests, nuns and seminarians to write them all letters. Maybe I should divide up the days. Seminarians Monday, nuns Wednesday, and priests thursday. Man, I'm gonna need moar stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'm afraid that I usually email unless I don't have an email address for them. I recently sent a snail mail to a hermit priest but he replied to me via email! I used to love writing letters but it is very rare these days for me to actually send snail mail to anyone. I do send praymail to them all every day though. They might not realize this unless they are checking their own 'prayermail inbox' but that's okay, I know that God delivers them straight to their hearts anyway!

zunshynn Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ha... maybe I should take this opportunity to finally send a letter to OLAM. I think I've only sent one to one sister since I left. I keep starting letters for the whole community and then I never send it. I also still have one of their books. oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomist-in-Training Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Tridenteen, I don't have a day but I do try & write to 'mine' so I will try and finish the most recent letter to 'my nun'! Actually I have several people I can write to on every other Monday! Priest x 1 Nun x .... 1 that I can write to who can write back (4 others, praised be Jesus and Mary!), plus my monastery Seminarian x 1 whom I write relatively faithfully. Plus a wouldbe seminarian whom I really really owe a letter actually. I should email him. Also, I occasionally write to our local Carmelites, just to say hello because I don't see them as much as I used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeresaBenedicta Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I just wrote to one of my nun friends in the Poor Clares today. :-) I don't expect a letter back until Christmas time, though. I got one from her during Easter and it made my week! Reminds me... I should probably give my priest friend a call-- yesterday was his one year anniversary of his ordination!
