She's currently an apostolic (year 1) novice here in St. Louis at the sisters' spirituality/retreat center. I had dinner with her earlier this week. She seems very well!
sistersintigo Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 [quote name='shortnun' date='12 July 2008 - 02:31 PM' timestamp='1215887497' post='1598683'] Hmmm, where should I start? Well I really should credit the Holy Spirit in leading me to this community. Two years ago, I met one of these sisters at my graduate school and she and I had a couple of classes together. At that time, I was discerning with some seriousness with another community. Fast forward from May 07 to February of this year, and out of nowhere I emailed the vocation director for the Apostles. Six weeks later, I visited the Motherhouse in Connecticut!!! I've been very blessed to know these sisters. Of course, many of the things that attract me to the Apostles come from things that have been important in my life. They've supported me in my pursuit of graduate theology studies (I've been challenged on this by some other communities). They encourage communication with family and allow for a two week home visit each year. Their formation program is very slow and eases you into religious life (you don't formally apply to enter until the middle of your 3-month pre-postulancy). Their ministry has changed over the past 50-60 years based on the needs of the Church and the gifts of the sisters. Many of their sisters who spent years in the classroom as teachers became burnt out. They used their gifts with education in parish settings. I never thought I would be attracted to an international order (don't ask why), but their focus on missionary activity is very cool. Each province throughout the world has at least one mission in an underdeveloped country. The US mission is in Taiwan where the sisters work in two different schools. I feel I'm a bit verbose, so I'll leave everyone with a link to a great new video from the Apostle's website. It's on the right hand side underneath the picture of the two sisters walking.

ruso Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Correction: It's Sr. Carrie Christine and Sr. Colleen Patricia who profess first vows tomorrow. Prayers for them! It seems like yesterday when they professed their first vows, have made ​​this year the perpetual profession. http://www.ascjus.org/galleries/album-detail/index.aspx?ModuleId=163&LinkId=64
