[shortnun]

I found this Nun Run Itinerary online for the Twin Cities area:

[quote]This is in the Twin Cities area:

Are you thinking about where God is calling you next? Now is the time to sign up for the Nun Run Sept. 29. Visit 4 different sisterhoods, including the cloistered Poor Clares, in one day. Pray with each and have the opportunity to ask questions about their lives in community. Consider bringing along a friend who also is interested in the possibility of being a Catholic Sister.

Poor Clares
Alexandria, On, Canada

I spent a few hours with them when I went to JTTF. They told us a little bit about their life, foundation, etc. We asked lot of questions:) They run some retreats during the year, they can accommadate guests.
They are very solid in the Faith. I asked the superior what the most joyful part of her vocation was. Her reply:

"The cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ"

Wow

excellent,!!
they ,Alexandria, On, were founded from the Poor Clares where i assist at Holy 5:30 am Mass half the week mornings, here in Mission, B.C..surrounded by mountains and old growth trees... here they have a new Postulant (so 13 of them now i think, the convent is built for 20 at most,)and are a bit more traditional than Ontario..,(for canada).. They recently re-put in a nice full-grill with the Tabernacle atop, and the altar on the outside so the priest faces east(facing the Poor Clares )but we are behind him.., and they are served by a holy Benedictine Monk from the Abbey up the hill...\...i just have to put up with the Taize chants for most Feasts!.$%#@
i will try to take pictures...
pax!
lest not forget the faithful Carmelite Nuns in Ontario and Alberta!
