stlmom Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 The thread about Mt. St. Mary's Abbey reminded me that one of their daughter houses, Our Lady of the Mississippi Monastery, will be featured in a 4 part series on The Learning Channel beginning Easter Sunday April 8. The posted time is 2 p.m., but I forget if that's Eastern or Central Time.
alicemary Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 if this show is half as good as the one done on the Monks, it should be outstanding. I cant wait! Kindly remind us closer to the day, I would surely hate to miss this.
Starets Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Lets pray that it will be as fruitful for their community as it has been for Christ in the Desert

They just couldn't understand why we wouldn't want this! Fr. Christian at Christ in the Desert said that it went very well for them and the filiming crew went out of their way to be respectful, etc. I didn't see the series because we don't want TV but I will ask if we are going to tape it and watch it some recreation. It's always fun to see what the "neighbors" do! SMC
Mercy me Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I hope that they show the finale this time! It gets really frustrating when you are watching a show and you don't find out how it ends!
Piamaria Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 My Mom is making my family watch it. They are going to be so happy with the visiting rules of the Sisters of Reparation after they see the Trappisitines. Fun aside, I'm praying they get a glimpse of understanding of the day to day normalcy of life lived in community. And an understaning of the true family that a healthy community is.

Starets Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Well, they certainly have had lots of interest expressed in their community. There are 8 men, 4 americans and 4 east asians, who will be trying their vocation with the community this year.

It worked at Worth but just wasn't for Buckfast, so they were wise to decline, I think. It's not for every house, which is something the producers don't always seem to cotton on to sometimes. PP
A Yearning Heart Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 There will be a 3 part series following 5 women living in an abbey for 33 days based in Australia (Jamberoo Abbey?). The series is called The Abbey. No air date is yet see though they did filming for it last year so it should be sometime in 2007. Keep an eye out at [url="http://www.abc.net.au/tv/theabbey/"]http://www.abc.net.au/tv/theabbey/[/url] for more info.
SisterAli Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I really enjoyed the series The Monk and God or the Girl...so I look forward to possibly watching these. Thanks for the look out! God Bless.
SisterAli Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I'm just bumpin' this up so ya'll don't forget!!!!!!!
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 [quote name='stlmom' post='1233338' date='Apr 7 2007, 10:29 AM'] A couple more bumps ought to do it![/quote] 'Sorry! It's been cancelled! Go to www.mississippiabbey.org and you'll see the info. they keep cancelling! :-(
stlmom Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 Too bad.... but I would encourage every one to take a look at the updated website of these Cistercian nuns, very nice job.
