The Mount Michael Benedictines are located in Schuyler, NE a little past Elkhorn.

They are AWESOME and run a great high school!

I have the address for the friary in New Bedford some place.. I also should have the address for the hermitages in Vermont, but I'm not sure if they still kick it up there.
The problem is that this info is probably in a box at my old house.

You thinking of visiting?

I think it is kind of funny how someone asks about CFR similar orders, and people put up all these other orders that are nothing like them.

I am not saying that those orders are bad, but maybe not appropriate to the topic?

As far as i know, CFR's focus on the poorest of the poor in the Bronx and around New York City. But if you want to find an order like that, maybe another Franciscan type of order i would recommend.

The FPO's are relatively similar. They were founded by CFR's and they are something like a more contemplative version of the CFR's with a stricter discipline regarding poverty. Although both orders might resent this statement.
I've spent time with both communities and the similarities are very strong.

Actually, I remember in my very first visit to the CFR's having a conversation with Fr. Bernard in which we discussed my impression of the order, I said how much I loved the life but shared my desire for a more contemplative life (not to say they are not contemplative, they are quite so), it was actually he who recommended me to he FPO's so I assume he would agree (though perhaps not vocally) that they could be thought of as CFR's with a more contemplative emphasis.

NOPE, I'M A GIRL.

I like learning about new orders. And their poverty appeals to me.
When I can I would like to send them a LITTLE money to help them.

Catholic flower would you get me that address? Thanks.

Not at all, the name is neutral. I'm just simple-minded and I tend to subconsciously associate the person with their avatar until I get to know then more. If you were a guy with a Mary avatar I'd subconsciously (or even consciously) assume you were female.
It shouldn't have to be that way, but I suppose its a limitation of my feeble psychology.
