be_thou_my_vision Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) As many of you know, I am applying to the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration. This thread is a continuation of "Visiting Religious Sisters of Mercy"... I moved it because it's now a different topic! It's now my journey to apply and see what happens... So I finished the paperwork and sent it in mid-March, and yesterday Sister Lois and I schedule a time for my interview!! The date is set for May 13th... I don't know what we will be talking about, but it's the 2nd step in a VERY long process! I just wanted to share the news that I am moving to the next step in the process! Praise God!

SisterAli Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be praying for ya girl! Love n' prayers, Allie
stlmom Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Jenny, thanks for starting this thread. I believe you are applying to a very fine community, and I think your giving them some exposure here on PM might prompt others to give them a second look. I really enjoyed the video they did a while back of the "Rappin' Nuns"! Hopefully they will update their website to reflect the growth in their novitiate! God bless and have a glorious Easter!
sismaria Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I'll keep you in prayer. I think you should look upon it as a sign that Our Lady is specially watching over you since your interview date is on the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
cathoholic_anonymous Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 How exciting! I will keep you in my prayers over the remainder of the Tridiuum.
be_thou_my_vision Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) Thank you everyone... And I didn't know that my interview was on the feast of Our Lady of Fatima! Thanks be to God! This community gives good retreats. It is certainly a time to spend peaceful time with Our Lord. Keep looking on the website for retreat opportunities. Edited April 7, 2007 by be_thou_my_vision
alicemary Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 And how we anticipate seeing you in Rappin nuns part 2!! Best of luck and keep us informed. This looks like such a solid group, and very joy filled.

be_thou_my_vision Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 Update: The interview may be moved to April 29th. Sister Lois needs to find some stuff out with her schedule, and she will let me know if that is possible... Also I emailed her and let her know that I am totally free to enter this fall, and she said "that coming in the fall sounds like a great plan"! Horray!!!
sismaria Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 April 29th is the feast of St. Catherine of Siena....a good Dominican saint can pray for you as you move toward your Franciscan vocation!

philosophette Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 OO! I know one of their sisters. She was a cloistered nun but left to join them. She absolutely loves it in their order. My prayers are with you!

be_thou_my_vision Posted April 16, 2007 Author Posted April 16, 2007 Sister Lois just notified me today that there is another woman (my exact age) that is entering with me! Yeah! Also, there is a woman coming to talk to her about "something" tonight after supper. Please pray for her. I'm so excited! **Off-topic! Please pray for the students involved in the Virginia Tech shooting.**
