FutureSoror Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 I wish I was flying in on friday! I'm just across lake MI, though and the day-of flight was cheaper, anyway.
AlterDominicus Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 ME! Ah, well...50/50 right now, my bro still has to get back with me to see if he can still for real, really drive, which would be awesome! Because it is during MEA week so we have Wedensday, Thursday, Friday off, tomorrow though is the start of my RCIA Classes then Thursday I am hitting it to the University of Saint Thomas to where a few Dominicans will be talking, and then Friday-Saturday is the 2005 Year of the Eucharist, Eucharistic Congress, and obviously Sunday I have evening mass! So I have a packed week!

[right][snapback]752244[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Wow. I wish I was going to this retreat, because it could be a real phatmass party Seriously, have a wonderful time. I went two years ago and I enjoyed the time spent with the community. It was from this contact that Sr. Joseph Andrew and myself became friends. She has been a wonderful help for me in my vocation walk. The one thing I have found very important in discerning my call from the Beloved, is that you need friends who understand your desire and who will walk with you especially in the times when you want to say "Forget it!! I can go on" Let us all pray for each other that allows us these good friends. Cheers, DM
benedictaj Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Awwwwwww! I'm sure you'll all have an AMAZING time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shortnun Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Has anyone heard from Sr. Joseph Andrew lately? I emailed her about two-three weeks ago and never got a response. I hadn't emailed her for a few months, but she's usually so quick to respond. Prayers for those going on the retreat..........
catholicflower Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I was told that she has been traveling ALOT lately. I think she is down in N.O. now to visit the novices and postulants (they went down to help restart the schools)
AlterDominicus Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Dude, Sister Jo is like the #1 [color=blue]Sister Traveler[/color] I know! After all she is the "Mother Vicar" (A title so rightfully righted to her!) [color=red][i]The Successor of the Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist[/i][/color]
FutureSoror Posted October 11, 2005 Author Posted October 11, 2005 Guess what!! A family from my church went down to New Orleans with a huge vanload of supplies for a convent that took in a ton of stranded kids, and they met the postulants and novices! They were so excited to tell me about it on Sunday.
AlterDominicus Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) Freaking awesome! Guess what, I finally got a response from my brother. Does anyone want to guess? PS: We should all wear like green t-shirtrs or have a plain white t-shirt and put the SMME logo on it. And write our phatmass screen names on them in the back. Edited October 11, 2005 by AlterDominicus
Sixtina87 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Okay everyone, who is going to SMME retreat. just a helpful hint!!!!! try to be on your best behavior and try not to be really wound up. the Sisters will be watching your every move as if theya re studying a new book. they are looking at you to see if you all belong to their lifestyle and mayeking sure that you are ready for the religious life!!!!!!!!! just to let you know!!!!!!!!!
benedictaj Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Really? I know that some people only go for general vocational purposes, not neccessarily with the intent of entering..... Anyway, I'm green with jealousy down here!
