cmotherofpirl Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 [url="http://www.sistersofmary.org/index.html"]http://www.sistersofmary.org/index.html[/url] Found this at Mary Shea's site. They have gone from 4 to 40 postulates in 6 years.
Norseman82 Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Yes, I'm familiar with them. I got two "I need money" letters from them in the past month.
JuCa Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I almost visited them once. still would like to sometime... Sista2b is going there!
BLAZEr Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 You know the founder of this community, Mother Assumpta Long, who was once the Mother Superior of the Nashville Dominicans, also helped in the foundation, at the request of Cardinal O'Connor, the Sisters of Life. Mother Assumpta went to New York and and joined a team of experienced religious who provided the formation for Mother Mary Agnes Donovan and the other Sisters of Life. She then returned to Nashville and received permission to leave and found another Dominican community with the express devotion to Our Lady, Mother of the Eucharist. This community is very cool. Very POD.
sista2b Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 yeah whats pod? by the way look <----- my avatar is the community's symbol. i have my psychological test on Fri. after that i can send my application back to Mother Assumpta!
Adeodatus Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 sista2b, Wow, that's so cool! If you join them, you'll be my sister under our holy father Dominic!
sista2b Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 yeah isn't it SWEET!! i love how the Dominican order is just like one big family!
let_go_let_God Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 When I went to Toronto for WYD I met some Dominican Sisters and they are awesome, as are all sisters.
BurkeFan Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 They're pretty awesome. A friend of mine who's a Jesuit scholastic down here in St. Louis is good friends with a number of the nuns up in Ann Arbor. They're totally solid as far as I know. In Christ, Dave
sista2b Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 the sisters are going to be on Life on the Rock May 27th!
IrishG8s Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 I live a mile away from them, and my siblings are taught by them at school. Majorly cool order.
sista2b Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 aww i just watched them on life on the rock makes it feel alittle more like home to see the sisters again
BLAZEr Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 lol . . . POD Pious and Overly Devotional . . . It used to be used as a complaint for seminarians who were too 'traditional' or conservative such as "Good all around student, but too pious and overly devotional" So now, Fr. Bryce Sibley has reclaimed the word as a compliment . . . Sisters in habits are always very POD . . . especially if they spend long hours in adoration!
sista2b Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 ok so i got a letter back from Mother Friday!! August 28th i'll be Sr. Ali, only God knows what my name will be two years from now!

OLAM Dad Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 This order is doing great. I'm not sure how up to date their web site is. It looks like they have 16 postulates. Wow.
