Guest hermanita Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 [quote name='Lisa' timestamp='1324590778' post='2356019'] Hi all! I have some very exciting news to report! I have been accepted for entrance into the community in August 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord for His Goodness!!!!! Also, sorry about the long hiatus. I'm going to try to keep this thread more updated from now on!!! [/quote] Oh Lisa--So happy for you.
Strictlyinkblot Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Congrats! Do they have one entrance date a year? What are you allowed bring with you?
Lisa Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 They do have a single date- we all enter together on the Feast of St. Augustine (Aug. 28), because the community follows his Rule. I've got a whole list of the "usual" stuff (undergarments, shoes, etc.); making the postulant outfit/aprons, a few texts on religious life/Vatican II/the Church. Dominican love of study
Lisa Posted January 20, 2012 Author Posted January 20, 2012 I have started on my "nun list," and today I got nun socks in the mail! I've never been more excited about socks in my life!

I've decided that mannequins must have short legs.

Strictlyinkblot Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I'm trying to imagine what any outfit I made would look like. Not a pretty sight
