TheresaMF Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Ave + Maria Over 200 girls will be at the vocations retreat with the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist this weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'm taking six girls up with me. Keep us all in your prayers--for discernment, and for the weather, because we'll probably be driving in the snow. Thanks! God bless!
BurkeFan Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Hum. The one above didn't seem to want to post. So here's to a double post.
BurkeFan Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 You all indeed are in my prayers and the prayers of many others here in St. Louis. Two of my very dear friends are on that retreat, so I especially hope it goes well.
Mona Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I'm gonna echo that WOW, 200 girls?? Praise God! *praying*
AlterDominicus Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 HOLY COW! Good grief! A) I was at the House of Formation in La Crosse, WI B) How could I have not have prayed, I have a friend named Tracey who went to Ann Arbor for the retreat, actually come to think of it, they all left an hour ago. Hehe Its like 3:30 here, 4:30 in Ann Arbor.
shortnun Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 I can't wait to hear about how it went!!!!!!!
FutureSoror Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 200.... wow, previously their biggest one to date had 127 girls.
TheresaMF Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 Ave + Maria Thanks for your prayers! There were over 200 girls signed up, but I don't know how many showed up. Close to that certainly. It was packed. Sr. Joseph Andrew maybe spend 5 minutes outside her little conference room--at least it felt like it--and five or six girls were always huddled outside the door awaiting their turn. The novices are having their contemplative year, apparently, so they didn't show up, but I got to hear Sr. Carly's give her vocation story and say hi to her and some other Christendom girls who drove up for the retreat. No snow--perfect travelling weather, if a little chilly! Thanks again! -TMF
OLAM Dad Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I look forward to a report! Kristina is going to the June retreat.

BurkeFan Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Sister sent me this link: [url="http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006602270409"]http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006602270409[/url]
benedictaj Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Oh wow, look at the wee slideshow. Thanks for the link I'm still amazed that around 200 girls were there!!
jgirl Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) I think you are mentioned in the article, memtherose! It says girls from as far away as New Zealand are inquiring. Edited February 27, 2006 by jgirl
benedictaj Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 LOL - I know that there was an Australian girl was really keen last year. I definitely have a soft spot for them, but I think that they would be MY will as opposed to our Lords....
