TheresaThoma Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I know the Dominican Province Central Province has 6 men in pre-novitiate right now (they started Sunday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesister Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon just welcomed five postulants. In 2012 there were three professions, but I couldn't find anything yet for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 LilSis - I went to the Mount Angel website when I first posted this thread, but I couldn't find any vocation news. You're a great vocational investigative reporter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesister Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thanks, Luigi. I think I came across a brand new post. And one more, hot off the press today - Franciscan Brothers of Peace, St. Paul MN : two new postulants, four novices, and one perpetual profession in a few weeks. Now they need another house!

Luigi Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 The Trappistines founded Our Lady of the Angels monastery in Virginia some time in the 1990's with about six nuns. They're up to 11 now, with three in formation and more to come. They need to enlarge their chapel. http://www.olamonastery.org/wp-content/uploads/working-letter.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselm Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It looks like the English Benedictines in the USA are doing very well - fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) It looks like the English Benedictines in the USA are doing very well - fantastic! The English Benedictines in St. Louis are doing very well. Their website has link called The Monks; within that, each monk has an entry with a little background information about himself. It takes some time, but you can read through and develop a chronology of vocations. There's another link called What Our Juniors Are Up To - some of those guys have taken permanent vows, I think, but they're still studying - for priesthood or whatever. And they're all over the map - Rome, England, Washington, Georgia. http://www.stlouisabbey.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=121&Itemid=57 The English Benedictines in Washington, DC (at St. Anselm's Abbey) are doing reasonably well. I think they have three men in formation. http://www.stanselms.org/ (See News Updates, July 3, 2013) The English Benedictines in Portsmouth, RI (Rhode Island) are not doing at all well. There are perhaps six monks, the youngest of whome is probably in his sixties. http://www.portsmouthabbeymonastery.org/ Edited August 1, 2013 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselm Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Oh, thanks Luigi - that's very interesting indeed. The EBC over here are having mixed luck but aren't doing too badly overall; Belmont has a few Juniors and perhaps a Novice or two, I believe Buckfast has a Novice, Ealing and Ampleforth have a couple of Juniors each and Downside has one, with a couple of people enquiring... (and one applicant ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
