Guest JohnA Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Folks, The Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Church (former sedevacantist nuns reconciled to the Church last summer) have completed their new website: it's great! See link below. From what I hear, the sisters are hoping to have the Traditional Latin Mass available to them, as they did when they were members of the schismatic order. Priests in the Diocese of Spokane are just learning the "Extraordinary Form" Mass. Regardless, their website is off to a good start, and their full, traditional habit is certainly beautiful and edifying. -JohnA [url="http://www.sistersofmarymc.org/index.html"]http://www.sistersofmarymc.org/index.html[/url]

littlesister Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Thank you for the update! The website is beautiful, all right. I just went through every inch of it. We met the SMMC's at an Institute for Religious Life meeting a couple of weeks ago, and were thrilled to hear their story and make their acquaintance. Prayers promised for their success and future direction in the Church and - yes - their habits are lovely!
Stacey Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 These sisters look really beautiful and so is their spirit, i am glad they are back in the Church and i hope they do very well now. Pax Sr Marie-Therese.
the lords sheep Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 How great! And beautiful photos of this re-established community!
HeavenlyCalling Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I am so glad they are doing so well!!! Love the new veils too

Moneybags Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) So do they have currently have the TLM or the Novus Ordo on a daily basis? Edited February 8, 2008 by St. Benedict
kafka Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 great story thank you for sharing! I used to be a Traditional Catholic and let me say first hand there are many, many problems in that movement. I did learn some truth from them, but also recieved some damage, and a skewed vision of the Church. Luckily after a time of darkness in my life I found some conservative Catholics and a good teacher/theologian to lead me back. God bless these Sisters. Its really wonderful.

Its really wonderful.[/quote] Please do not generalize in such a way! A true traditionalist is a person devoted to the Traditions of the Church and the Tridentine Latin Mass and these people are largely going to "indult" Masses. Do not group "Traditionalists" with sedevecantists or conclavists. We - traditionalists - are not in error as we adhere to what the Church has taught for centuries.
brendan1104 Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 There's a difference between traditional and traditionalist. We're Catholics, not a member of an "ist" sect or anything else.
Moneybags Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 [quote name='brendan1104' post='1457903' date='Feb 8 2008, 08:17 PM']Right now they have the daily N.O.[/quote] O that is disappointing. I hope that they soon are able to have the Tridentine Latin Mass as celebrated by a priest in Communion with Rome.

DameAgnes Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 they said on their site that they are in the middle of a year of prayer to determine their future - so I suspect they are not accepting applications or inquiries until they've completed that year. But I left a prayer request with them and received a very nice note back. If any of you could pray for Will, a student at CUA, he's had an accident and lost one finger and may lose the use of others - he's a musician.

I will try to get it to you when I get back to the States. At the present time I am still in the UK. In fact, my flight has been delayed another 4 hours, so I have a lot of sitting around to do! Apparently, we are both seeing something different when we click on the link. Deborah Edited February 10, 2008 by By His Grace Alone
puellapaschalis Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Just to say that the link worked fine here - complete with links and photos and articles and so on.
