zunshynn Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Has anyone looked into any Salesians? I really love St. Francis de Sales... My confessor is an oblate of St. Francis de Sales... and I really like them... but I don't know of any communities. I'm kind of shy about asking him.

daugher-of-Mary Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I know one Salesian Father who is absolutely WONDERFUL. Holy, humble, and a good sense of humor! If you like, I can PM you his address...he would be delighted, I'm sure, to tell you about the Salesian Sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ofpheritup Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) Oblate Sisters of St. Francis de Sales 399 Childs Road Childs MD 21916 1 410 398 3699 also for cloistered there are the Visitation Sisters founded by St. Francis and St. Jane de Chantal. There are two federations the difference being one wears the traditional habit the other doesn't. One of the monasteries is in Frederick MD they run a boarding school. Another great site just to pick up some "salesian spirituality" would be oblates.org Edited July 26, 2005 by ofpheritup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSoror Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 St. Margaret Mary is my confirmation saint, and she's a Visitation (Salesian) nun. I've never looked at modern-day Visitation sisters, though. I know the Institute of Christ the King's sisters follow the rule of St. Francis de Sales, so they are Visitation sisters too!

And she explained the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSoror Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Ohhh, thank-you, I didn't know that! I thought I'd heard the Institute's sisters refered to as 'Visitation', so I assumed there was no difference. I must have been mistaken, though!

zunshynn Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 I just thought about the irony of "visitation" nuns being cloistered... lol... when they don't visit anything. lol... ok Jen, you're too easily amused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
