Santa Cruz Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 A dear friend of mine was in the original community but left as a junior professed. I will send her a link to this to see if perhaps she wants to join in the conversation. If not, then perhaps she may be willing to dialogue with you FutureSister2009 on her experience? Prayers for you all and thank you for sharing, especially Lwangaman. May God Bless these 2 communities...and all involved.

Lwangaman Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 FutureSister2009 how did your trip to Rome go? We would love to hear! Where were you for the beatification? I wound up at Castel Sant'Angelo, there were so many people! It was a lovely sight...

FutureSister2009 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Rome was beautiful. I loved every second of it. And no we came home the day of the Beatification and no I didn't get to meet with one of the Sisters from my Community either.
FutureSister2009 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Updates on the community, over the last year the Franciscans have shared our Convent with the Filippini Sisters but now that the Filippini's have left, it will belong entirely to the Franciscans! That's what I've been praying for! God-Willing, things will start to unfold from here!

I know of a few schools they teach in that are excellent, but I don't know if they've had any new vocations....

Some of them were my teachers when I was in school at the school of my Parish. They're all getting older and not getting any new ones. It's really dying out and it's a shame. But I never felt attracted to them anyway.

sistersintigo Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 Hopefully these images will link successfully. I believe the older woman in these photos is Mother Maria Elisabetta Patrizi herself. The photos come from Italian-language Catholic websites and are supposed to be recent, from this year. If I'm mistaken I hope someone will correct me.

Can you send me a link to that website, even if it's Italian? I just want to look at it. Oddly, I don't see either of my Sisters but I think Sr. Barbara whom I met earlier this year, may be in it. God-Willing, if Mother Elisabetta makes it to visit our Parish, I'll be able to come home to meet her. It could be the only way I will get to meet her without leaving the country!

Ale Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) The second image is taken from this webpage: [url="http://www.roccaporena.com/it/news/dettaglio_news.php?pag=ci-hanno-fatto-visita-dieci-suore-per-gli-esercizi-spirituali"]http://www.roccaporena.com/it/news/dettaglio_news.php?pag=ci-hanno-fatto-visita-dieci-suore-per-gli-esercizi-spirituali[/url] In the italian explanation is writen that 10 nuns of Franciscan Sisters Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus and of Mary Immaculate (the new foundation of m.Elisabetta Patrizi) have come to the little italian town of Roccaporena for doin spiritual exercises. It also explains that m.Elisabetta Patrizi with another sister of her new foundation now lives in that town. The town of Roccaporena is renowned because it's teh birthplace of St.Rita, wich later in her life went to live in Cascia so she is known as St.Rita da Cascia. Their address and phone contacts are: Opera di S. Rita - 06043 Roccaporena di Cascia (PG) Tel. 00390743 754500 Edited November 8, 2011 by Ale
SearchForTruth Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Anyone with ears to hear, please listen. Be careful of this order. Pray for spiritual discernment and wisdom.
SearchForTruth Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 There is a lack of accountability and possible exploitation of widow's homes to establish a presence in the US. Mother Elisabetta cannot be located easily and the other sisters lack accountability. Pray for discernment and speak to those in the leadership within the diocese.
Gemma Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Clarification on Public Associations: Any association founded by a bishop is a public association. There are two kinds of Public associations founded by bishops: with intention of becoming an institute of religious life (Daughters of Divine Hope in Texas); and without intention of becoming an institute of religious life (I personally don't know of any, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist). Emerging religious institutes that are Public Associations are more familiar, and have been in existence for 10 or so years. This is the stage before Diocesean Right. During the experimentation phase, habits are permitted indoors before the group goes to the bishop. Distinctive garb is permitted outdoors. Blessings, Gemma Edited October 15, 2013 by Gemma
deusluxmea Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Forgive me for saying so, but the whole idea of wearing "habits indoors" sounds like role playing to me.
Gemma Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Forgive me for saying so, but the whole idea of wearing "habits indoors" sounds like role playing to me. There has to be a stable source of habit parts, and the only way to reach that conclusion is to know what is and isn't available, and what works/what doesn't work for the group. They may have something in mind, but when that idea is put 'on the ground', they may come out with a 'yuck, that doesn't work' reaction and discern something else. Role playing--how would you describe the period of experimentation as roleplaying? Would the aspiring community not have to do some role playing in order to discern whether or not they can work together as a community? Blessings,
