mantellata Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yet another group from the CMRI sisters I believe...... Either that or Sr. Teresa Christe looks an awful lot like a former CMRI sister that I knew! God bless them. I love the royal blue on white look.

AnneLine Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks for the link and the suggestion to check out the Sisters' facebook page. I am glad to see that they are getting vocations, but I am curious to know how many of them there are, whether they are technically an 'Association of the Faithful' etc. Has anyone actually interacted with any of these Sisters? I believe they are one of the groups that has come out of the return to the Roman Catholic Church from the CMRI sisters.... anyone know more? FYI... A number of those photos are of them on the Facebook Page are of them at the Discalced Carmelite Fathers' House of Prayer in Oakville in Napa County (near Santa Rosa).

Mark Kristy, OCD, is the Latin Mass priest for the diocese, so that is probably the connection. I wish the Sisters every good thing, and many vocations!

These Sisters along with the SMMC sisters (plus I think there is a third community) all came back into communion with Rome from the CMRI at the same time.

HopefulBride Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I believe right now they are four or five (at least four - one Novice included) and I think they are a Public Association of the faithful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerCatholic Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I love these new religious communities, it is exciting for the Church. Plus, I think they have good taste in habits. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatitude Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I thank God for these sisters and the others like them; they have enriched the Church with the very best of traditionalism, and been enriched themselves through coming to unity. Their faith and joy are shining. This is the sort of traditional witness that we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I just love Marian habits, the blue is so pretty. And of course it's wonderful to hear of these sisters coming back into full communion with the Church. I pray that the other CMRI sisters they left behind see their witness and come home as well.

Gemma Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 The sisters in Michigan were part of CMRI, but not the Mother of the Church group. The Marian Sisters were part of both CMRI and Mother of the Church. The sisters who left CMRI said they breached the issue of reconciliation with Rome, but the superior told them all, point blank, to leave. No quarter. So, we have: Daughters of Mary, Mother of the Church Daughters of Our Mother of Grace Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa Who are all former CMRI. Blessings, Gemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToJesusMyHeart Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I am discerning with the Marian Sisters. Can't wait to speak with Mother on the phone this week! I've been searching for a charism like this for so long; the Lord takes His time, but He is so generous! I particularly love that they celebrate both forms of the mass. The EF just amazes me every time I assist! To my knowledge, they have 3 professed, 1 novice, and 1 postulant. And me, who is figuring it out! Te Deum Laudamus!

ToJesusMyHeart Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 [quote name='beatitude' timestamp='1343942067' post='2461700'] Welcome. Terrific community. I look forward to reading all about your discernment journey. [/quote] I look forward to sharing it with this community! I spoke with Mother today actually, and what a delight she is! She said they've been getting "quite a number" of vocation inquiries from other young women, so that's really exciting, especially because they don't advertise. Mother is officially going to be working as a high school teacher for next year, teaching "Advanced Catholicism." How wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
