Klaudi87 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I decided, along with the help of my SD of coarse to go ahead and enter with the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate. I will enter as an aspirant in a couple of weeks. I leave for the convent on Jan 13 ,2011.....AHHHH. I don't even have time to think about it haha which is a good thing b/c I like to analyze things a little too much! I have only been here for a couple of months but it has been fun hanging out here on VS! I ask for your prayers Pham as I haven't told me parents yet...waiting till after new years . It is such a great blessing to even be able to go try out this beautiful way of life. Anyway Im in Our Lady's hands, God's will be done!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in contact with Sr. Maria Consolatrice and seriously considered visiting there even if I didn't have a Franciscan vocation, but the airline that I could afford to take (AirTran) doesn't go anywhere near New Bedford so I didn't know how I'd get there. I opted to visit the CFR Sisters instead. Sr. M.C. is very nice! I hope you have a wonderful time there and that you have found your permanent earthly home. I'll be praying for you so that when you tell your parents, they will be very supportive. [size="7"]YOU GO GIRL!!!!![/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alicia and Sr. Consolatrice are sweeties. One thing's for sure, you'll have lots of fun there. Last I was there, they were building rooms in the basement level, yet there was still space to play running games. Did you get to run around or are they now walled up? CONGRATULATIONS!!

[/quote] Thank you! Indeed they are sweet! We did some running around in the library at recreation...we played a game similar to dodge ball but using a bean bag. If by the basement level you mean where the refractory and kitchen are then yes they built some rooms....in a big empty room next to the kitchen they put up what look like bedsheets (as walls) for the aspirant cells. Very Franciscan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissylou Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Two WEEKS? Wow! So is this aspirancy like a "live-in" where you go for a length of time and then come back home and decide whether you want to enter as a postulant? How long is the aspirancy? Or is the one supposed to flow right into the next stage? Congratulations, good luck, and blessings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnavarro61 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 yes, i am interested to know what an aspirancy is (with FIs) and how long does it lasts. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
