Trappistine Nuns at Our Lady of the Mississippi Abbey, Dubuque IA

"Join the community in prayer for the liturgy of the hours and Eucharist.  Listen to some of the sisters speak about our way of life, and how God led them to Mississippi Abbey.  Meet other women exploring God's call in their lives.  Have the opportunity to ask questions, take time for extra silence and prayer, visit one-on-one with a sister about your own discernment, and enjoy the beauty of nature around us."

The Filippini Sisters are having a "Nun Run" from the 10th to the 13th. They have three spots left as of this morning. I love these Sisters dearly, I was taught by them from kindergarten through high school but I know I'm not called to be one of them. But they did plant a seed in me for my Vocation and they have a place in my heart.

St. Procopius Abbey in Lisle, IL is having a Come and See weekend soon. And they've developed a 15-question survey that may be of interest to discerners. There's no ranking of answers at the end or anything like that - I previewed the survey but didn't submit it. It might give some insights to those who are discerning.
