Deus te Amat Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 [quote name='Little Flower' timestamp='1310585933' post='2267037'] I'm 16. Would they let me come? If so I would love to... I've been wanting to visit them for a while [/quote] I think their minimum age for visits is 17, but it couldn't hurt to try! Send Sr. Mary Emily an email. The first time I contacted her, I was 16, and she was very helpful. Good luck! Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions. Pax Christi, DtA
jruss Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 [quote name='dominicansoul' timestamp='1310587716' post='2267075'] i'm beginning to think the same [/quote] Me too, even though I have a daughter who is a ND. Although, I have to admit there are advantages in having one's daughter a ND over a Carmelite. You know---hugs, home visits And btw Miss Scripture. I am still planning on tracking down your sister so I can send you her pic!

she_who_is_not Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Well, we know you are "thread" starter. At the very least.
TheresaThoma Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I wish that I could go but right now pretty much all of my funds are tied up in paying for tuition. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif[/img] The plane ticket would cost me over 300 dollars alone (and I would have to take off a week from work)! Fourtunately there are some ND right in my hometown. So its a start! Have fun on the retreat though![img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/wave.gif[/img]

I completely understand where you're coming from (this retreat was five years in the making, six if you count the years of searching before I found them). How blessed you are to have them in your hometown, though! It's a start! I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Let me know if you ever want to talk about them. I loooove talking about the ND's.

You're kind of amesome, Br. Bruno.

LaPetiteSoeur Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I'd like to go, but I don't think I can....but I'm trying to make a personal visit (I have to email Sr. Mary Emily).
she_who_is_not Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I saw a great picture of a ND standing on the field after the Saints won the NFC championship a couple years ago. I'll try to find it. Ok, I don't have time to upload the pic but here is a link to the story. [url="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/american-football-nuns-on-the-run-as-saints-go-marching-on-1891637.html"]Praying for Victory[/url] Those prayers worked.

MessorCarus Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I would love to go on that retreat, maybe I will get to visit again some time next year. You'll have a great time, I went on a vocation retreat in May 2010, it was beautiful.
Catherine Therese Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I'd love to see some of you there That is going to be my home in about 3 weeks

And that will be after you get the habit! Wow, when I put it that way, it seems like it will be forever before I see my sister again! But I'm so excited for you!
