Graciela 91 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
