Where did the search box go? Does anyone know if there's been discussion about St. Walburga's? I really like them. They have four entering next year. Their Vocations Directress is quite warm and welcoming. Anyone know anything about them, or can anyone direct me to a previous thread?

 

Praying on it...

No one from Phatmass has entered there, as far as I can remember. But I've followed their blog for a few years, and they've had a slow be steady stream of vocations. They're quite sensible and stable.

Sorry Curiousing,  I don't know anything about this community, but I know there are previous threads about them, and I haven't seen the search bar either...in months. Not only that, but I have to stay signed in if I want to post on here.  I think there is some sort of problem with the website.

I tried to find some past threads, I found very little (but there are a lot of pages to go through too. ) They seem to be just pictures and a video. If I find anything else I'll post it. :)

I have been up to the Abbey once for a retreat (not a vocations retreat but a silent retreat). The Sisters are WONDERFUL. Since it was a silent retreat I didn't have that much interaction with the Sisters but the little I did have they were very warm and welcoming. 

The Abbey grounds are absolutely stunning. The guest "house" is a few mobiles which served as the nun's home while the actual Abbey was being built. The guest house is 3/4 of a mile from the Abbey but the walk is very nice (just make sure that you are across the second cattle guard before they ring the bell for meals or Mass or you will be late!).

They run a farm and have a small bookshop along with being a retreat house. There seemed to be a good spread of ages among the nuns. 

If you are interested in them I highly suggest visiting them!
