Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual adoration

[Marieteresa]

Hey folkies,
I just had to check out the rapping nuns to see what they are all about. I am just wondering has anyone contacted these sisters? They seemed really cool, I actually got up the courage to call them. I talked to Sr. Lois who ran down what their life is like and formation and when their next retreat is.

Was she tall with reddish brown hair and maybe like in her later twenties or early thirties? Just wondering...because I think I met her but I am not sure.

I have been to this convent like 3 or 4 times. I love these sisters. They are hilarious, and they have a wonderful spirituality. They are active in teaching and health care. They own St. Elizabeth Hospital and St. Francis Hospital in Lafeyette and Indianapolis. These sisters are so comfortable to be around. I HIGHLY recommend getting in contact with them because they are a wonderful bunch with a lot of history to back them up. They value tradition and they love their retired sisters. The website doesn't do it justice. You have to go up.
