Re: the DSMMES, only 9 2nd year novices - wow, as I recall that class had 22.  Just goes to show, discernment is a difficult process and, no matter how much you think you're called to religious life, your plans are not the ones that matter.  That does kind of scare me.

 

The Nashies have a bit better retention rate.   :like:  Regardless, what the seminarians always tell me when I ask how discernment is going is that they don't know if they're called to be a priest: they know they're called to be there in seminary right now, and the rest will follow if it's God's will. Same applies for religious life.

So this means that Sr Lisa will be getting her habit and new name Thursday Evening! YAY! :nun2:

 

PS anyone have news on Deus_te_Amat? She should also be getting her habit about now-ish too!

Deus_te_Amat joined the Nashville Dominicans, right?  I have a friend who joined the ND's last year too, and I found out from her mom that she received the habit last weekend, so that would go for DTA also. :)

The Nashies do have a much higher retention rate at all levels - postulants, novices and Junior Professed. I wonder why that is?

From the DSMME fb page: "Here is one of the last 'before' pictures of the Postulants of 2012-2013!! See their joy as they are SO READY to receive their religious names and holy Dominican habits!!"

 I imagine it's simply a by-product of the fact that there's less general hype around them. The hype around the DSMME's is amazing, it's so beautiful there's that amount of fan-girling going on about a religious order -- I think it's something really unprecedented until recently unless you go back to Dominican founding times. It does have its side-effects though, and it's possible it might lead to over-romanticization of the life. Whether there's a difference in their attitude towards applicants and the process of admission, or if it's just a difference in who applies, I don't know. To paint with a broad brush I think the DSMME's are painted more enthusiastic and spontaneous, and the ND's as more careful, but that does a profound injustice to both -- especially my utterly unpredictable ND theology professor. If the DSMME's do have a modicum more enthusiasm or spontaneity than the ND's I wouldn't trade it for anything though, even if it led to more stability. While I love the ND's more, the DSMME's are doing incredible things in the Church and it is undeniable they are filling a much-needed role.

 

Regardless, everyone who joins is called to be there for the time they're there, even if they leave! And them having such an impact on so many is a beautiful thing.

I'm wracking my brain to figure out the postulant (now hopefully a novice) who was either a novice or a junior professed when she left OLAM.  She was the one in the PCPA's photos who'd had an audience with Pope jP II before she entered, When I saw her postulant photo a year ago, she had "filled out" a bit in her face.  Anybody know?
