The Olivetan Benedictines in Jonesboro had two first professions, two perpetual professions and a new postulant enter. God is doing great things!
littlesister Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 The Little Sisters of the Poor just had six professions in the U.S. novitiate, with eight novices, and 22 make final vows at the international Motherhouse in France.

RosaMystica Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) More good news: 12 young women will be entering with the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist today at 4pm! Please pray for all of the new postulants! I had been accepted into this Community for this year, but as I discerned further I realized that wasn't the place God wills for me to be, but I'll save this story for another time Edited August 28, 2008 by RosaMystica
Luigi Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 It seems that the Benedictine abbey of St. Louis & St. Mary (English congregation, monastery in St. Louis) has THREE new novices: Brother Dunstan Holms, Brother Joseph Goodreau, Brother Richard Towne. Typically, new novices join the community at about the same time the school year starts. The website (http://www.stlouisabbey.org/) provides no information about them except their names - which is typical for novices on this website - but those three names didn't used to be there! Once you're on the website, click on "The Monks" link. This community has been growing steadily over the last six or seven years. Let us pray for them, and thank the Lord.

Well, I'm happy that you are following your heart because that's listening to God's will in your life. Thank God, 12 more young women. That makes it 89 now, correct? Wow. They are getting closer to their 100 goal. Pretty soon, no more takes for the DSMME...

Luigi Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 From Cenception (Benedictine) Abbey in northwest Missouri: Receiving new members into the monastic community is cause for celebration and joy. On Aug 14, we were happy to welcome our postulant to officially begin his year long novitiate as Nov. Adam. The following day, the feast of the Assumption, was a special day for our former Novice Isaac who professed his simple vows for a period of three years receiving the name Br. Placid. ... We pray that the coming period of discernment for Nov. Adam and Br. Placid will be a time of spiritual growth and happiness. At the Aug 24 Sunday Eucharist two of our junior monks, Br. Victor and Br. David, finished their period of simple vows and pronounced their perpetual solemn vows before Abbot Gregory and the monastic community.
littlesister Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 This is wonderful news as well; we have a Little Sisters of the Poor home here in St. Louis--any of the newly professed ever serve in St. Louis? None of the new professed that I know of. However, one of the new perpetually professed will be assigned there.
stlmom Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Just wanted to pass along a "hello" from former phatmasser "Passionheart", now Sister Veronica Mary, a novice with the Dominican Nuns in Buffalo, NY. She just completed her first year in the novitiate. If "Brandelynmarie" is still lurking here, she would love to hear from her again.

truthfinder Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I was wondering if anyone had any news on postulants entering the Franciscan Friars of the Rewnewal. An acquaintance of mine is supposed to be entering there and I'd love to see the pictures. God Bless
Luigi Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 From St. Gregory's Abbey in Shawnee, OK: On Wednesday, September 3, the Solemnity of St. Gregory the Great, Abbot Lawrence formally accepted and blessed Mr. Shannon Powell and Mr. Zak Spitz as observers in our community. The welcoming ceremony (pictured above) took place at the front entrance to the monastery as the community prepared for Solemn Vespers. During their time as observers, Shannon and Zak will live in the monastery and participate in the daily monastic schedule to the degree that their current employment allows. Please pray for Shannon and Zak and for all those who are discerning a monastic vocation. See [url="http://www.monksok.org/"]http://www.monksok.org/[/url] for more details.
