Kayte Postle Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 On their vocations page on their website they have a recording of one of their sisters singing a song. Oh it is so beautiful, and so fitting for vocations. http://www.childrenofmary.net/vocations.shtml You know you want to listen to it.... I still can't contain my excitement....
EmilyAnn Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Yay! That's so aw[color=#000080]e[/color]some! Their habits are such an unusual colour. It's not a typical Marian blue, it's almost purple.

maximillion Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 That's great news, and they seem like such a lovely community..........
mysisterisalittlesister Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 yay!!!!! I love that order, and I'm soooo happy for you!!!!!!!!!!
Gemma_Kateri Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Wow, this looks like a beautiful community! They even have purple habits, which is my favorite color Too bad I love the Franciscans a lot or my eye might be wandering to this order...
Jennifer Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I'm sure that you'll have a wonderful summer with the Children of Mary.. [b]You're a lucky girl. !!![/b]
Chiquitunga Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 That is really awe.some!! 10 minutes down the road?! Wow! I saw a couple of them (a white and black veil) at St. John Cantius in Chicago earlier this year and their habits are very much purple
Kayte Postle Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Thanks everyone. I finished filling out their helping hands form, now to just hear from them!! ( although i'm leaving to go visit mickey mouse and my sister this week, so I'll have to wait a whole week to reply to them......) I'm am so overjoyed. I've been home from school for almost a month now, and summer had been seriously kicking my toosh. However since the retreat last weekend, this week has been so full of blessings and graces, and they just keep coming. (a lot of them are coming from Momma Mary.) Praise to the Lord and the Holy Spirit!! Hail Mary full of grace. =)

[/quote] 10 MINUTES!! Ironically it's on the same road of the UMC church I went to when I was younger. I couldn't believe it when I saw it because I live in the middle of nowhere.....
Queen'sDaughter Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Love this order! I totally internet stalk them all the time! Wish they updated more often.
Kayte Postle Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 I get to go see them tomorrow! Still far too excited. =)
Strictlyinkblot Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Yay! Excited is good as long as you manage to calm down enough for mass
Kayte Postle Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Strictlyinkblot' timestamp='1340159914' post='2446565'] Yay! Excited is good as long as you manage to calm down enough for mass [/quote] I'm only going in tomorrow to help them with some various needs around the convent, and grounds. They will have already gone to mass by the time I get there (I [i]believe[/i] that they go to mass off-grounds.) . However when they have guests/workers come visit them, they usually have the guest stop by their chapel before going about whatever is needed to be done. I think the Lord will put me in the perfect frame of mind before I get to work. Edited June 20, 2012 by Kayte Postle
