[shortnun]

[quote name='Laurentina1975' date='Mar 8 2006, 11:00 PM']I just found that there is a group in Chicago that meets.
It's primarily a group of Polish women....but they may integrate with us....
We'll see.

This sounds promising!!! (Or at the very least, informative for you in this process)..........


and this is off topic, but are you aware of any Polish Dominican sisters in the greater Chicago area? The brothers at school tell me they exist, but I have yet to get more information about the sisters from them.

While I haven't heard of any, there's probably a good chance it is true. There are more Polish people living in Chicago than Polish people living in Krakow!

Yes, there are Polish Dominicans in the the greater Chicago area! I just found their website, it's kinda hard to search for.....[url="http://www.sistersop.org/index.html"]Dominican Sisters of the Immaculate Conception[/url]

they seem really cool, I don't know how many American girls have joined but they are having a "come and see" from March 12-17 at their Motherhouse.

If anyone has more info on them, please share!

Yes yes yes, this is them!!!! I know a woman from my area who is going on retreat next week with them. I'm already going on retreat this weekend and have to work next week, otherwise I would totally try and get up there. Thanks so much for posting their website, I knew it was around, but I just couldn't put my hands on it.


So......... has anyone else heard anything about them?

The sisters are having a fall discernment retreat October 20-22. Check out their website (linked in ThyHolyLove's post above) for Sr. Margaret's email address if you'd like more info.

All I can say is that I shared a table with two of their sisters at the Institute of Religious Life Banquet. I was a little down at the banquet but they helped raised my spirits. They have a foundation here in Canada out west in Calgary.

I stayed with them for a few days, but as I did not speak Polish we had some difficulties! lol.

They seem like a good order, though.
