inperpetuity Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 www.ancilla-domini.org/contents.html These nuns have come into the Church through the Anglican Ordinariate and are currently staying at St. Cecelia's Abbey in Ryde. They are looking for a monastery I think in England. There are 12 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inperpetuity Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 I know, it's amazing and they've adopted the beautiful full Benedictine habit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inperpetuity Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 oh, but what happened to number 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselm Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What do you mean, what happened to number 12? If you're referring to the fact that only 11 of the Wantage sisters were received into the Church, they were joined by a twelfth sister who came from the Society of St Margaret in Walsingham.

Oh, ok, that makes sense, I read the updates quickly and just saw that there were 12 mentioned. Just like the apostles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselm Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ahh yes, of course! (Also, looking back on my last post it looks like I was being a bit stern - sorry if it seemed like I was!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not take it as such, Anselm, no worries. Btw, I sent them a welcome email and they wrote back with a link to the ceremony of entrance into the Church: http://www.oxfordoratory.org.uk/news.php?id=236 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
