I believe it is the DSMME (don't want to say the full name as some have issues with that ;) in Ann Arbor.

Thank you all for your prayers. They diagnosed her with Breast Cancer (probably Stage 2) today.

Hi Lisa:

First congrats on your news! How exciting.

Second -- prayers for you. I had decided to enter a community in Argentina and had set a tentative date of June 2007 when my mom became ill and was diagnosed with (a different) cancer in Dec 2006 (right when I was visiting the same community in Mexico). My mom's illness and subsequent passing delayed my entrance 6 months, but it is a period of grace and growth. And one thing I found -- the Lord was ever present with me throughout.

I will pray for your family and that your mom will recover fully. And will pray for your upcoming entrance :)

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 :love:
