Kayte Postle Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) internship??? Isn't that being a postulant? Nope, like legit internship. "At Our Lady of the Rock we offer informal internships through a monastic “Land Programâ€. These internships are open to men and women, of all faiths, over the age of 18. Enrollment is limited. Internships may be for six months or one year. Interns live in housing provided by the monastery and are invited to share in the rhythm of work and prayer that structures the life of the community, though no religious affiliation is required. Internships may begin at any time of the year." (Here's the link for the full description of the program) Edited January 22, 2014 by Kayte Postle
OnlySunshine Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Ooo, I think it's really interesting that they have internships. It would be a unique and wonderful way to experience the flow of Benedictine monastic life. btw, Mater you are a research wizard. Hehe! I love to research! I even included 2 more communities that I referenced here on my website for Belated Vocations. ;)
TheresaThoma Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I think Nunsense discerned with the Benedictines of Our Lady of the Rock. She described the program a bit and it sounded really cool.
Starets Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 http://www.stscholasticapriory.org/ they are cloistered benedictine nuns
SilentJoy Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Just watch out for this one: http://www.eyeofthetiber.com/2013/11/05/benedictines-suspend-monk-for-bullying-novice/ :hehe2:
Feankie Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Oh wow...another Eye of the Tiber reader! I thought I might be the only one. A little humor now and then :jester:

Regina Laudis (was mentioned before) does internships, too. http://abbeyofreginalaudis.org/visit-internship.html
An Historian Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary A small correction. The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary are not Benedictines and they do not follow the Rule of Saint Benedict. They are de Montfortian in spirituality and are not monastics. The name Saint Benedict Center is a legacy from the original Saint Benedict Center at Harvard. They are spiritual descendants of Father Feeney [b]and they are of course in complete canonical regularity and are on good relations with their bishop[/b]. It also goes without saying that they do beautiful works. Some of the group from the original SBC [i]did[/i] become Benedictines and they to be found in Saint Benedict's Abbey, Still River.

Yes, this is true. The "older" community of Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary DO follow the rule of St. Benedict although they are not Benedictines. Both communities follow de Monfort Spirituality but I would say that the "older" community is more monastic in its way of life. They are canonically distinct communities. It's confusing, I know!

Crucesignata Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Has anyone mentioned the Benedictines in Greensburg, PA? http://www.stemma.org/ I've been there before!! :) On my way to visit the DSMME. They are wonderful - they are monastics. Gorgeous location too!
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 it is very confusing! Thank you Sr. Mary Catherine, and Historian for the corrections! Just think of it this way: there are lots of Franciscan orders. New groups form from older groups. They are canonically distinct but are the same charism/spirituality and emphasis an aspect of the charism in different ways. Or look at the different congregations of Dominican Sisters. They all share much in common but each has it's own "flavor". Ann Arbor is from Nashville but has a distinct tone to their community. It's pretty much the same.
