LaPetiteSoeur Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 So There is an order in PA (I think) that is Franciscan in origin that wears a habit and teaches (I think) whose motherhouse is also in PA. Does anyone know what order it is? It's been bugging me all day! Thanks Pham!

[/quote] There are these sisters: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sister-Servants-of-the-Most-Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus/145975278785277 These: http://www.capuchinsisters.com/ (they don't teach, though...) so, I read this as Hey vs. pham... and while it didn't make any sense that "hey" was challenging the pham, I took it as a challenge... can you find the order if these aren't either of them, I will keep looking.
FutureSister2009 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 What color habit do they wear? Do you have a picture. You should google Franciscans in PA
LaPetiteSoeur Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 It was indeed the capuchin sisters. I'm not interested in joining them, but I had seen them before and couldn't remember their name! Thanks so much! And I didn't know how to fix "Vs"-I meant "Hey VS Pham!" But it was an order challenge. Perhaps we could make a game out of this.

TeresaBenedicta Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I really love the Capuchin Sisters. A lot. As in, I'd consider discerning with them if I were still discerning orders.

I've considered contacting them but I was just really confused because there are two convents in two different cities.. Is one of them for the novitiate or something?
faithcecelia Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Ooooooh, I have a 'name that order' too, if anyone can help?? I'm looking for an Italian community of sisters who wear a completely bright blue habit. They are an active community who do catechising amongst other work. Thanks for any suggestions!
Shana Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) I went on two come and see retreats with the Capuchin Sisters of Nazareth though I didn't go expecting to feel called particularly to them and didn't feel that I had a vocation but they're great! Here's a facebook album I made with pictures from my second visit which was this past fall: [color="#333333"][url="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1390353683851.2054306.1382370122&l=446a904599"]http://www.facebook....22&l=446a904599[/url][/color] [color="#333333"][font="Arial"][size="2"]If you or anyone has questions about them I may be able to answer some.

I was indulging my curiosity/nosiness(!) about which community a friend may have been in, and this looks like it, plus the dates seem right!
