Andrea348 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 i almost went to college at Immaculata. they are wonderful sisters. the college i went to was nearby and we had one of the sisters from Immaculata as a spiritual director for our busy person's retreat. she was so delightful and always had a smile on her face.
ThyWillBeDone Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 IHMs are awesome. A girl from high school entered around 4 years ago. And another friend of mine goes to Immaculata and wants to enter soon. God Bless
shortnun Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Their habits look similar to the FSGMs. Thanks, as always, for the post, stlmom!!!
stlmom Posted April 23, 2006 Author Posted April 23, 2006 Another issue of the IHM's vocation newsletter is out---it is a pretty interesting overview of how their sisters spend their novitiate time. If you go to my original post, you will get there by hitting the Immaculata link and going to the vocations page to the current issue of "The Call" God Bless!
stlmom Posted August 28, 2006 Author Posted August 28, 2006 Just to add to IHMNJ's post about the pictures of the newest IHM's---these sisters have a new issue of "The Call", their vocations newsletter. See my first post for the link!
stlmom Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 Just posting about another newsletter from the IHM sisters in Immaculata PA--this one is written by one of their novices: [url="http://www.ihmimmaculata.org/publications/In-Formation.pdf"]In-Formation[/url] Thought it would interest any of the pham who might be interested in an active order .
ofpheritup Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Reading all of this brings back memories. I was taught by them in Philadelphia at St. Barnabas School on Buist Ave. I understand that the Sisters are still there. Serious Blast From the Past. When I started school they were wearing the traditional habits and about the 7th grade they went to the modified. This was (a little) post Vatican II. Edited June 3, 2007 by ofpheritup

That's my parish!!!!! I didn't go to St. Barnabas, I went to Our Lady of Loreto and graduated in 1997. When the school closed in 2000 (I think it was 2000) everything merged into St. Barnabas, so that's where I am now. Wow!!!! Nobody there knows yet that I have applied to enter and that if accepted I'll be going in September, so shhh!!!! The Immaculata IHM's are my community!! I can honestly say that they are absolutely wonderful! I'm waiting to hear if I have been accepted and I can't wait!!! The sisters are sooooo great!!!!!!!!!!
EAnn246 Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I love te IHM Sisters. My Aunt works at the Villa Maria that's near New Castle, PA.

Wow!!!![/quote] Isn't it a "teeny tiny world?" Sitting here and reading this makes me miss it so much. All the wonderful memories, I remember especially my First Grade experience, there were 55 students in my class. I remember my First Communion and my Confirmation there. One thing that was annoying though there were very few snow days. We only lived a block and a half away, so the weather didn't matter, we walked. My mother thinking she was being funny (she was being funny) would say, I have 8 of you I can afford to lose one. It is interesting how everything got moved from OLL to St. Barney's. When I was there the concern was that it would go the other way. I went to St. Barney's for 8 years. Three months before my Eighth grade graduation my parents moved, I had to graduate at a different school with people I didn't know. Three months . I am so happy for you.
alicemary Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 You all are making me homesick too. I was born in Philly but raised in Camden...back when it was a nice place to live. I miss South jersey alot, but live in Virginia now
