Are There Any Byzantine Discerners, Here?

This community seems very joyful. http://www.christthebridegroom.org/

I have spent a day with them and they really are! They allowed me to come and stay a day with them on Good Friday and it was wonderful. I had no real experience of the Byzantine Liturgy at all before then but they welcomed me and helped me learn. If you have a chance contact them and see if you can spend some time with them.

 

(Fun fact the picture of Mother with the young priest I believe is at the Cathedral right after he was ordained.)

I know them and they are wonderful sisters. Happy, funny, amazingly hard-working and dedicated through all kinds of trials. Their monastery is really starting to blossom.

I really like them :)

Their YouTube channel is worth a look, especially the Live from Mumford Road episodes :)

As usual, the site doesn't want to link, but the Holy Annunciation Monastery in Sugar Loaf PA has a beautiful one.  They're Byzantine Discalced Carmelites, and I think still the only ones in the U.S.  They have grown - and grown - and built much of the monastery themselves over the years.  A joy.

And then there was some news that they were going to become Cistercians... ? :unsure:  Does anyone know what's become of that?

All seems quite on that front.
