Phatmassers who have entered religious life

[OLAM Dad]

I'm new here so I probably just need to be directed to the right place. It seems that there are quite a few young men and women on this site who have or intend to pursue a religious calling.

I think it would be interesting to see a listing of all of them and to which order they joined and when they entered. This would help others who visit communities because when they arrived they could feel like they already 'know' somebody and not feel like such a stranger.

It would also be interesting to see the kinds of orders that phatmassers are joining. I suspect we'll find that the orthodox orders do well and that the others do not.

So...do something like this already exist? If not, I'll start the listing with the only one I know for sure.

Correct...it is usually at the end of August.....two year ago when i was going to enter it was August 25, Fest of St. Augustine, Sr. JA made a point of mentioning what feast it was....this year it was going to be August 28th, but it had to be pushed back to september 8th because of the new construction at the motherhouse.

[AlterDominicus]

I know, but it is a day "I would like to enter on" I know theirs is August.

Reading through the list so far of all who have or who are entering religious communities, my heart began to race with joy!!! Congratulations to all of you!!! I ask only one favor though, i really need all of your prayers for right now it feel like God has me between a rock and a hard place. Pray that i may persevere. Right now it feels as though im looking for a community that doesnt exist. Oh well if i knew exactly what order im entering, what day, and for what purpose then i think i would get bored. This way at least im excited because i dont know what to expect next!!!
