cathoholic_anonymous Posted May 17, 2007 Author Posted May 17, 2007 This is great. I'm learning about some communities that I didn't even know existed!
jkaands Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) --What about Carmels and Benedictine nuns in the US? I know that there is a lot of interest in Dominican nuns in the US--Summit, Lockport, Marbury, but what about the numerous Carmels in the US? I think that there are 40-50, which include a lot of traditional Carmels. And a number of Benedictine nuns--Petersham; Dale, Colorado; Regina Laudis in Bethlehem CT, who sing the office in Latin; they also have a branch in Wash State; Westfield Immac Conception who sing the office in Latin, Gregorian Chant,plus the Trappistines, including Wrentham, OL Mississippi, Crozet, VA, Redwoods... anyone visited any of these?
