The postulants choose a sewing pattern for the vest.

[HeavenlyCalling]

Do you mean they each choose a different one, or they all decied together?

[AlterDominicus]

Each choose a different one.

Interesting. It's actually the skirts and belts that look different to me.

[HeavenlyCalling]

Well, the belts I think they buy on their own, I dont know, they still look wonderful. Does anyone with a connection to the sisters know when the stories will be up? Make sure to post when they are. : :

This is such a blessed community! They have so many girls coming in every year. Does anyone know if most of their postulants usually persevere in their vocation or do they tend to leave? I hope most stay but you can never be too sure.

I think out of the last group of postulents ( who just became novices a bit ago) there were 14 to start with, I think that two of them left, so only 12 became novices. Which is still quiet a bit compared to most convents. I heard somewhere that the SMME are the fasted growing order in the USA today. ( Not that it's some sort of compitition)

[VeniteAdoremus]

Okay. I'm so going to fix my graphical interface. And running over to the uni tomorrow to look!

Go Dominicans! :

I thought they started out with 16 postulants but 14 received the habit... ?

[puellapaschalis]

I thought they started out with seventeen!

I thought there were 16 to start because 2 postulants left and there are 14 that received that habit. I could be wrong!

[GodChild]

: very nice. Thanks for the pics

[HeavenlyCalling]

bE THOU MY VISION, YOu are most likely correct, I just knew that two left, but they still had a fair amount who recieved the habit.
