Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted June 3, 2006 Author Posted June 3, 2006 [quote name='ThyHolyLove' post='996099' date='Jun 3 2006, 11:32 AM'] Sorry to be a bummer, but the Newark monastery of the Dominican Nuns closed in 2003. It is now a formation house for the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.Also, the Washington D.C. sisters are moving to Virginia and building a new monastery. [/quote] Thank you!
franciscanheart Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 The idea about a convent database is a great one! That would be really great.
FutureSoror Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 [quote name='the_rev' post='996016' date='Jun 3 2006, 05:57 AM'] I think the Carmelites in New Franken and Denmark are one in the same convent. They just built a new convent (for four or five sisters; this convent cost 12 million dollars I think) and now are only in denmark. Now dont' quote me, but I think this accurate. [/quote] They did move from the New Franken address to Denmark. The convent is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my life; I got to tour it before they moved. My understanding is that there are more than five sisters. Someone who is fairly close to them told me 12, I think. I was surprised, though, because that's more than what I'd heard. I've heard them sing the divine office before, and their voices sounded young. (You can't see them even through the grate because of the way the chapel is positioned.)

melikalani Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I can vouch for the orthodoxy of both the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Santa Clara and the Poor Clare Nuns of Los Altos Hills. They are both great communities... and growing! Each cloister added 2 postulants last year, thanks be to God! :lol_grin: :lol_grin:
williamb Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 Discalced Carmelites by the rules of St. Theresa can only have at most 21 members to a monastery. This was/is to keep a family type atmosphere in a house of prayer.
Marieteresa Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 Schenectady and Pittsford Carme merged last year so now they are all at Schenectady. Also FYI there are a few Carmels that have more than 21 sisters.....They have to obtain permission from the Holy See to be able to have more sisters.
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted June 4, 2006 Author Posted June 4, 2006 Anyone know where I can find a list of Carmelites of Ancient Observance? They are kinda left out of the list...

I think I will list the communities and the name of the abbey/monastery/whatever (if I have it) and location so you all can tell me what communities are faithful and orthodox (or not...) and if I am missing any that should be there!
