Chiquitunga Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 So they made their foundation today on the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter!
Chiquitunga Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 the most I've seen online about it so far, http://www.stjoanarc.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Bulletin-Insert-2-12-17.pdf

I can't imagine seeing that in the Bulletin, "Oh, by the way, the Carmelites are coming in THREE DAYS!" Or yesterday!!!! I'm praying for the South Carolina foundation!
Chiquitunga Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 South Carolina foundation??!? That they make one, or one you know is already happening? Sorry lol! I'm thinking it's the first! I think they should also make one in Springfield, IL.

I'm thinking it's the first! I think they should also make one in Springfield, IL. I want it! There are some wonderful areas around here where one could be if the bishop gets on board! I keep telling Jesus that He wants a Carmel down here too, in the venerable tradition of St. Thérèse's sister Marie. We'll see... Is there anything in particular in Springfield?
Chiquitunga Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Bishop Paprocki is there, who is very friendly to the Traditional Mass. We have a great Carmel (1990) in Des Plaines, in the Archdiocese of Chicago, with several new vocations lately and solemn professions, etc. But southern IL could use a good Carmel too. There are 4 Poor Clare Colettine monasteries in IL, so why not another Carmel? also, the FSSP is there and the Canons of St. John Cantius as well, http://www.canons-regular.org/go/news/read/canons-regular-in-springfield/
Therese1895 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 That sounds great! I very much support the spread of the JMJ franchise (that's what we used to joke about the number of foundations!)

This is a little off topic but I noticed the priest there at this church is Father Gordon. I was wondering if he has a brother or twin brother that was in the FSSP. I knew a Father Gordon in the Fraternity but he entered the Clear Creek Benedictine monks. He was a very good and holy priest. Just wondering. It does look like him in the picture on the bulletin! Maybe he went back to the Fraternity. I so so wish we had those priests close to where I live. They're great. So happy for the Carmelites. Edited February 24, 2017 by MiserereMeiDeus Spelling
