Luigi Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 (edited) Saturday, April 18, 2025: Dominican Holiness Retreat Day - similar to a Come & See Event - at the Monastery of St. Jude in Alabama. This is a small community (7 sisters in final vows; 1 or 2 in formation) of cloistered Dominican nuns that also have perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Three or four of the nuns have entered in the last 10 or 15 years, so the community is small but stable. The links at the top of the Retreat Days page connect to the monastery's main page. https://marburydominicannuns.org/blog/dominican-holiness-retreat-days Edited January 21 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 In the US, two Dominican provinces - the Central and the Southern - collaborate on Come & See Weekends (as well as on the Studentate). They normally have two Come & See Weekends each year - fall and spring, October and February (right around St. Valentine's Day). They host 40 to 50 men each weekend, and they usually have a pretty full house each weekend. According to this link, they're have two Come & See Weekends this spring, one in February and one in March. So I take this as a good sign. Either they have so much interest among first contacts that they've added this third event, or maybe there's a lot of follow-up interest (guys who attended the autumn Come & See and now want to do it again to explore further). In either case, you might want to spread the word, and you might want to keep the seekers/discerners in your prayers. https://www.opvocations.org/come-and-see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
