Daughter_Fatima Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I'm interested in an order that runs schools or orphanages. Anyone know of one in the U.S.?
be_thou_my_vision Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 There are a lot! Here are my favorites: Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration-- These sisters used to run orphanages, but now they just teach and work in health care. LOVE THEM! (Franciscan) Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia-- They all teach! (Dominican) Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist-- They teach too! (Dominican) These sisters all wear habits. Hope this helps! Jenny PS They all have websites.... just put it into google.

Laurentina1975 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 [url="http://www.ssfcr.org"]School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ The King[/url] These are the greatest Sisters ever! They taught me in high school and have had an orphanage in the past. They are international and very devoted to the Holy Father. Their Motherhouse is in Rome and their US house is in Lemont Illinois!

Do you mean like boarding schools? As far as orphanages go, it might be pretty difficult to find in the U.S. Some orders work with troubled children and adolescents in residential programs in the U.S., but you might have to look at the foreign missions to find sisters running orphanages.
ThyWillBeDone Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 In my area (PA) we have the IHMs (sisters of the immaculate heart of mary) not sure where else they are but they are awesome God Bless [url="http://www.ihmimmaculata.org/"]http://www.ihmimmaculata.org/ (Their site) [/url]

shortnun Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) Daughters of Mary, Mother of Healing Love are a newly established religious community in New Hampshire. They run an orphanage for abused/neglected children and and social work advocates for the children as well. They don't have a website. You can PM me for their address (they're having a retreat in March) or check out this [b][url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=45703&hl=daughters+of+mary"]old thread about them.[/url][/b] Edited February 25, 2006 by shortnun
Laurentina1975 Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Hey did you check out the ssfcr's? What did you think? Those were my high school sisters! Woot!
the lords sheep Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) The Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart in Los Angeles teach. [url="http://www.cmswr.org/member_communities/OCD.htm"]http://www.cmswr.org/member_communities/OCD.htm[/url] Also, one of the apostolates of the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus is a day care in St. Louis, and a home for children (i believe) in Chicago. [url="http://www.carmelitedcj.org"]http://www.carmelitedcj.org[/url] Another great order are the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George, or the Martyrs for short. One of their many apostolates is teaching. [url="http://www.altonfranciscans.org/"]http://www.altonfranciscans.org/[/url] Also, the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara teach in primary and secondary schools as one of their apostolates [url="http://www.ssvmusa.org"]http://www.ssvmusa.org[/url]. These are some of my favorites that I've met. Hope this helps! Good luck in your search and may God bless you! Lauren Edited February 27, 2006 by the lords sheep

Daughter_Fatima Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks, everyone! I don't have much of an idea yet, but some of these orders look really cool.

srmarymichael Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) There are many teaching Orders. Did you look at the cmswr.org website and search for teaching Orders? My favorites (mainly because I've met them and gotten to know some of them): -School Sisters of Christ the King, Nebraska -Religious Sisters of Mercy, Alma, MI (teaching is not main apostolate, but they do have some teachers) -Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration -Martyrs of St. George, Alton, IL -School Sisters of St. Francis, Panhandle, TX (my Community) -Nashville Dominicans, TN -Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, Ann Arbor, MI If I think of more, I'll let ya know.... There's so many out there that I haven't met yet. Everyone has a different "feel" about them. Begin visiting with them and see which one fits your personality. . .
