ForHimAlone Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 For those discerning a call to the religious life, what orders and/or communities are you looking into? I think it would be awesome to see the order/community that you feel might be where God is drawing you to! Mine: Carmelite Order [url="http://www.heartsawake.com"]http://www.heartsawake.com[/url] Dominican Nuns of Perpetual Rosary [url="http://www.op.org/nunsopsummit/"]http://www.op.org/nunsopsummit/[/url] Cistercian Nuns [url="http://www.nunocist.org/"]http://www.nunocist.org/[/url] Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia [url="http://www.nashvilledominican.org/Main.htm"]http://www.nashvilledominican.org/Main.htm[/url] May God bless you all on your vocation journeys!

ForHimAlone Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 jgirl, I've had quite a bit of contact with the Franciscan Sisters of the Martyr Saint George. They hold monthly retreats at their convent in our diocese. It's such a wonderful order!! If you ever want contact information with the sisters in the La Crosse, WI diocese, let me know, and I can give you their info.

I was talking with mom and she thinks my descion should be based on how close the convent is to home That's why I was leaning toward Kentuky... Thanks for the "tip" though!

Guest Eremite Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 If you're thinking about an eremitical vocation, check out the excellent Carmelite community in Christoval, Texas. I think their official name is Hermits of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. You can see their website at [url="http://www.carmelitehermits.org"]http://www.carmelitehermits.org[/url]
Totus Tuus Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Go Fathers of Mercy! Go Fraternity of St. Peter! ... I recently wrote to an order of Traditional Poor Clares. I'll post more about them when I hear back.
