I have minor scoliosis... could that be a problem? Sometime the back pain is really bad...

That might be a question to ask Sr. Francis or Sr. Lucille. I'm betting that if it doesn't affect most of your life, it won't be a problem.

Absolutely [b]do[/b] ask Sr. Francis this question directly! She will be able to answer specifically in your case! God bless you!

I'm sorry if I got that wrong. I was reiterating what Sr. Francis told me. That's why they couldn't take me with my depression. I guess it differs. I don't think she mentioned anything about bringing a year's worth of money for insurance, I'm not saying you're wrong, either.

Yeah...they really do have health insurance (In fact it is one area where they need prayer that they will have benefactors able to support them in this. It is very expensive.) They might not mention the year's worth of insurance until you are ready to enter. It might not come up during a come and see. I know that if you go to the "2-week-visit" when they do the psychological testing and interviews and such for those who apply for entrance that you find out about it.

Hello,

 

May I know when are the "Come and See"s usually and do they normally last for the weekend?

I'm from Hong Kong and have met the Sisters in the UK during Youth 2000 and visited their community in Leeds..absolutely love them!

It won't be easy for me to visit them as I'm working but I would love to know when they do their "Come and See"s normally :)

 

Thanks

I answered your question on the other thread but let me expand.  The retreats last from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon.  I came early on Thursday night with special permission since the airfare was cheaper.  :)
