Sr. Martin Dominic mentioned in this thread passed away this Lent. Just thought I’d post. May she Rest In Peace!

I received the movie Anges du Peche. It doesn’t have the subtitles I thought it would, but I’ll watch it with someone who knows French  I know a version with subtitles used to be on YouTube I think. If anyone knows, let me know. Thanks!

Does anyone know whatever happened to Nunsense who used to post here? I haven't seen her in a while and hope she is doing well.

I was just thinking the same thing.  And Anne Line.

Perhaps she finally found her monastic community!

I am curious about where a certain order "went."

Their name was "The Dominican Sisters of Bethany"
Their apostolate was to visit women in prison and they also accepted women into community who had been in prison.
Their was a book written called, "Ten for Sorrow, Five for Joy." It gave some insight into the life.

I heard a rumor that they went back to France.

I would like to see them come back or someone else start a similar community (Hint, Gemma).

I also saw an ad in a Vision vocation magazine for the Dominican Brothers of Bethany.

Just wondering.

About 18 years ago they were all called back to France. They had about 7 in the novitiate in MA at the time. Two of the American sisters finally decided to come to the US and entered the Dominican Nuns in West Springfield, Ma. From what I hear they aren't doing too well in France.

Rumor Godden wrote a novel about them called "Five for Sorrow, Ten for Joy"

I don't know about the Dominican Brothers of Bethany. There is a 3rd Order group out in CA that is for deaf vocations.

Hello:

I used to be one of the brothers of Bethany. Sadly the order closed (is a very long story to post here) now at 55 years old, I still ask myself if some sort of revival can be done for the men. Too many souls to help, not enough workers. My idea would be to open a lay consecrated society so that men who otherwise would not be accepted, could be accepted. No walls, no bars..nothing but Bethany. If anyone wishes to give ideas I am all ears. you may contact me at profesorluigi   at  gmail 

If any former  brother reads this, please get in touch with me especially  the one from Italy.
