Luigi Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Here is the novice class of 2015 for the Eastern Dominican province (of St. Joseph). https://www.facebook.com/dominican.vocations/photos/a.570183369682468.1073741830.261227360578072/939783532722448/?type=1&theater I suppose the other provinces will be making similar announcements soon. Everybody post similar news you have from the orders you follow, support, and pray for.

Luigi Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) The Boston Carmel - seven nuns - has received two novices this year. This community is in the Roxbury section of Boston, which is apparently pretty rough, but the nuns have stayed. Here's the blurb from their Spring/Summer 2015 newsletter. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow! We have a new member! Aileen Chua entered on March 12. She is doing very well and adds new life to our community. She is also waiting for a companion in the novitiate who will enter on July 13. ... Does it need to be said that we are very happy to be increasing and multiplying?" Edited July 16, 2015 by Luigi

I followed them for quite a while and they didn't appear to have anyone in their novitiate for a long time. They didn't update their website, have a newsletter, etc. Very glad now. They have allocated some of their land as sort of a children's playground for the neighborhood, and have a beautiful statue of St. Therese in their garden which, when surrounded by flowers, is gorgeous.
Luigi Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Note: You may find the date on the article below confusing. They write in the format day-month-year rather than the more traditional month-day-year. So this happened 3rd July 2015.The Benedictines of Perpetual Adoration have had a slow but steady stream of vocations for the last three-four-five years - I'd say two women per year or so. Now for the article. Benedictines welcome new postulant Benedictines welcome new postulant - (03-07-2015) < back PHOTO: Pia Jepsen (right) entered the postulancy of the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration during Day Hour on July 1 in the congregation's Adoration Chapel located at their Clyde, Missouri, monastery. As per custom, Pia knocked on the Adoration Chapel doors, symbolizing her desire to enter the contemporary monastic community. Her plea was answered by Prioress General Sister Dawn Annette Mills, OSB who invited her to join the community in chapel. The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration welcomed Pia Jepsen to their postulancy during Day Hour on July 1 in the Adoration Chapel of their Clyde, Missouri, monastery. As per custom, Pia knocked on the Adoration Chapel doors, symbolizing her desire to enter the contemplative monastic community. Her plea was answered by Prioress General Sister Dawn Annette Mills, OSB who invited her to join the community in chapel. Soon she was formally invited to join the postulancy and presented with the Divine Office books by Formation Director Sister Pat Nyquist, OSB. After she received the blessing from Sister Dawn Annette and Sister Pat, the community retired to the refrectory to share in a celebratory meal. Postulant Pia, who is from Copenhagen, Denmark, will spend the next year of formation adjusting to monastic life, taking classes and learning the works of the Benedictine Sisters.

This is actually a community of eight nuns, not seven as I originally posted. And the "companion" novice did arrive earlier this month. Here's a group picture. http://carmelitesofboston.org/about-us/meet-the-sisters/
Spem in alium Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Someone I know who entered the Nashville Dominicans last year has, I believe, just been clothed in the Dominican habit and will be starting her canonical year. I tried to hunt for photos but there was nothing. And this is a pic from my acceptance ceremony as a candidate on the Feast of the Holy Family, where I received these symbolic items. It is my hope, and I believe God's will, that I apply for postulancy at the end of the year - at that time I'll officially become a member of the congregation, and "Sister ---".
