Anyway, I bought many books from these sisters. They give quick delivery and great service.

Excuse me? I'm sure you didn't mean to scream that at me and I have no idea what you are talking about. If the site has been viewed before well, that's great. I thought newbies (like me) who hadn't seen it might be interested in it.

How rude!

I can't speak for Brendan, but I can state that he used to be affiliated with the brother community of this Carmel.

The Carmel of Colorado Springs has "irregular" status. They and the Society of the Holy Family both sprung up before there was a local diocese. Both were built without going through the proper diocesan channels--therefore the "irregular" status. They claim to be in communion with Rome, but if Rome doesn't see it that way, then they aren't.

The entire situation needs prayer, and a lot of it. I have that straight from the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei," which oversees the TLM initiative and religious communities.

Blessings,
Gemma

Dame Agnes, I was not yelling at you. I apologize if you think this is the case.

In fact I was not yelling at anyone - but I put my message in caps because it's a strong reminder to everyone that this community has been discussed and debated more than several times and this thread, too, has a very high possibility (like all the others) to turn into a debate which all can be avoided by doing a simple search and reviewing previous threads.

Once again, my apologies.

But I still remind everyone that this thread is not a debate, and Vocation Station isn't the Debate Table. Thank you.

The rosaries are lovely, there is certainly no debate about that.

I also got some fantastic things from them. And I enjoy their beautiful newsletter.

Brendan, we cool.

But just so you know, either I use the search function incorrectly or it doesn't always work! :-)

wow. i live in Colorado Springs, and this is the first i've heard of them. i only knew of the Salesians, Bennet Hill Sisters, and Mount Saint Francis Sisters being in town.

I have visited these sisters, and yes, they are beautiful, and very joyful, and yes, their status is irregular for now anyway. They do not make a formal consecration because of their status, but make private promises instead. I know two young woman who are novices there and they are very happy.

They are a wonderful group of sisters. I wrote them twice, and they always responded kindly. Their daily schedule is just beautiful. A priest friend of mine bought a rosary for his habit, and it was lovely. As he said, "Pray. Pray hard. The Church needs good sisters like these." Pray that their status becomes regular. With the MP I think there is definite hope.

EDIT: If your interested in their status, call the diocese. They faxed me something. They may have more updated information available on the community.

God bless!
