Well, there IS this very well-known photo........However, I think it's pretty safe to say that nuns are MUCH more likely to go hunting for souls with prayer than with guns/rifles etc. I can go look for the story behind this photo, but if I remember correctly, the nuns in the picture--who are/were real-life sisters as well as Sisters--took the picture mostly at the request of their father who loved to hunt. I think the sisters/nuns may have hunted before they became nuns, but didn't hunt after they took vows.

As for chickens, I think some Communities do have farms, but the DSMMEs are mostly teachers. (Hey, you wanted 20 kids--you'd probably get more than that in your classroom!) And, you could ask to be assigned to a more rural parish (no guarantees, though, I'm sure--I don't know if the DSMME's serve any rural parishes--yet--who knows?) and you could be the faculty advisor for the local 4-H club.

So far, they seem to serve mostly southern parishes (other than Michigan). And are at least exploring foundations in Texas and California.

One could reasonably surmise that after novitiate people decide that they HAVE HAD QUITE ENOUGH OF MICHIGAN WINTERS THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

When my sister joined the Nashies, my cousin was going to learn to sew, just so she could sew my sister a camo habit for turkey hunting. Are there any orders that have bright orange habits? Then you could go deer hunting.

Closest thing I could find to nuns in day-glo.....

Lil, obviously this is not typical day-to-day stuff A couple of Sisters went to Dartmouth College to give some vocation talks/a mini-retreat, and their hosts planned a time for them to try this!!

You should design a hunting habit to show them. Maybe with a shorter veil. And you could get a breviary with a hole in the pages for a small gun. Yes, I know it wouldn't be ideal for hunting but I can't think of how you could smuggle a shot gun into the mother house.

[Lil'Monster]

True......
