she_who_is_not Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1308328957' post='2255083'] Yeah, that's a really cool story. Ok, next hint: This Franciscan order began in 1972. Their name is completely different and doesn't include Franciscan at all. Their main apostolate is prayer and evangelization, but they also run Vacation Bible schools, retreats, missions (parish and foreign), etc. [/quote] Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.

cmaD2006 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 M.M. has to verify but I'd be shocked if its not correct ... I didn't get a chance to answer but I knew it as soon as I read it.
Graciela Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Okay, I cannot resist: This active-contemplative international order was founded in the aftermath of the French revolution by a woman (now a Saint)) who really wanted to become a Discalced Carmelite nun. Her brother, a priest, advised that her intellect and gifts for teaching should be used in an educational apostolate and she obeyed. Their first group of sisters to come to United States in the early 1800s included a former Visitadine (also now a Saint) who was called by the native americans "she who prays always."

I wasn't entirely sure it was them but it was the only order I could find at the moment that was founded in Nottingham. My master Google skills come in handy. I'm a Google ninja! Here is the next clue: [b] This order was started in Budapest, Hungary. Their apostolate is caring for the sick, poor, and desolate. They operate nursing homes to care for the elderly.[/b] Edited June 18, 2011 by MaterMisericordiae
