If you want to work with family's there is a group, the Missionary Servants of the Holy Family in Kansas.

That also reminds me of Filiae Laboris Mariae located at the FSSP parish in Minneapolis, Church of All Saints.   They attend the TLM and recite the Office in Latin.

 

From the Facebook page of the parish:

"We are very pleased to be able to welcome Sisters to our ever-growing Fraternity of St. Peter parish! The traditional order, 'Filiae Laboris Mariae' (Daughters of the Works of Mary) just arrived one week ago today after much work was done to renovate our convent building. (Thank you to all who helped with this effort!) A relatively new, semi-contemplative, semi-active order based on the Augustinian rule, the Sisters daily pray the entirety of the traditional Divine Office in common and will be devoted towards working in our successful homeschool co-op and helping teach Catechism and First Communion classes to our young people, amongst other tasks yet to be determined. We are so blessed by their joyful presence and look forward to many wonderful years ahead. Deo gratias!"

It appears they have five sisters.

Yes, I found them quite by accident.  They could be a good choice, and obviously   have a good repuation according to the Parish Facebook Page.

Nunsuch made very good points. I know nothing whatever of this community, but it does seem odd - and how do they have 34 applicants in their circumstances? You may need to exercise great caution about seeking to be a foundress.

I think it lacks charity to not at least acknowledge the letter and confirm or deny based on its content.  It leaves one wondering what did I say that was so offensive that they would not even reply.  

Yes, it is quite easy to begin looking for a fault in oneself, especially if one (quite naturally) looks "up" to the community in advance, simply because they are religious. I find it helpful to reverse the situation: I am a sister who manages vocation enquirers, someone sent me that (mine) letter. Usually it is enough. Also, even if a letter is "rude" (although cannot imagine that one who thinks about  a possibility to enter who write a rude letter) why not to answer "here is the info however you should correct your rudeness, here and here".

Such silences can be very discouraging and dampen the spirit. Yet it is them, not you.
