He is Risen! 106 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Congratulations! I wouldn't worry too much about pulling out of school. At a minimum, they will probably keep your records on file for something like 10 years (until you are fully professed). Entering a Dominican house, you can be sure that they will help you keep your mind sharp. This is very exciting, I'm so happy for you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jkaands 5 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Many congrats!! How does the St. Joseph's grant work? (I googled "St. Joseph's Grant" but didn't get anything). If you leave, do you have to pay them back? Does the money aspirants and would-be seminaries receive from Serra Club, Knights of Columbus, etc. come with strings attached--so much per year towards debts until it's all paid off at profession--or what? It seems that, particularly applied to college debt, there is opportunity for scams here, not (obviously) with you, but with unscrupulous persons who see a way here ("applying" to religious orders, later walking away) to pay off college debt.

DameAgnes 785 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Oh my gosh, what wonderful news - does it feel like it's all happening so quickly? To think of it! In a little over 7 days you will enter the monastery doors and that will be - as the psalmist says - "my resting place, forever" should all go well! It must be both terrifying and marvelous - a terrible beauty. I will keep you especially in my prayers in these next 7 days as I pray the LOTH - what an awesome time for you!
