OnlySunshine Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 [quote name='brandelynmarie' timestamp='1317782871' post='2315515'] Hmmmm... Maybe! Are RSM's in Boston? [/quote] Yes! It's one of the many dioceses they are in.
sistersintigo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1317781027' post='2315500'] Her habit looks a lot like the Religious Sisters of Mercy. I wonder if she is in formation with them to prepare for the foundation? [/quote] According to reports on Sr Olga of the Eucharist, "Missionaries of the Virgin Mary" is the name of the pre-existing congregation. But apart from media features on Sr Olga, I can't discover anything about this congregation of "Missionaries" which is said to be Assyrian rather than Roman Catholic. The journalists appear to be saying that Sr Olga's new congregation will be the first time she has founded something in the Church of Rome. It's a little confusing.
brandelynmarie Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah, it is a little confusing. She is originally from Iraq where she was part of the Assyrian Church & founded the first Assyrian religious order, the Missionaries of the Virgin Mary...But she was sent to America to learn English & joined the RC. Here is a recent video. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I3QFLcgIYI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I3QFLcgIYI[/url] But here is an article from July 2011 that explains she has now been called to found a new order of sisters in the Archdiocese of Boston.

I swear that their habits are identical. It's only the veil that's different.

And oddly enough, one of them dresses its priests in the Blue Scapular of the BVM. Let me see if I can get this picture to link: [img]http://www.thebostonpilot.com/news/20110902/images/450x300_Pilot_12025.jpg[/img] Success! This is the founder of the Apostles of Peace. He was directed by the Blessed Mother to take up the Blue Scapular after visiting Medjugorje. Edited October 6, 2011 by sistersintigo
