Chapel Rat Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Does anyone know of any teaching orders, besides the ones from Nashville and Michigan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksterling Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I am looking at the Alma Mercies and, most particularly, at the Apostles of the Sacred Heart. There are also the IHMs in PA. Sister Marie, who posts here, is a member of that congregation. There are many, many teaching orders. What other aspects are you looking for? Habit? Strong community life (as opposed to some orders where the sisters live separately in apartments.) Location? I have been discerning for almost 2 years and have a lot of info. Others who post here are also well informed but we need some more to go on. Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Marx Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 There are the [url="http://www.carmelitesistersocd.com/About/"]Carmelites of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles[/url].... ksterling is right; more information would be more helpful.

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The [url="http://www.cksisters.org/"]School Sisters of Christ the King[/url] in Nebraska and I know the Sister of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church have a school. I think the Salesians work with young people, but I don't know if they teach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The Basilians are a teaching order, but I think they are just for guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlmom Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 If you count communities with teaching as at least part of their apostolate, there are probably too many to mention here. It would also help to know if you are lookiing in any particular part of the country, if you are attracted to a particular spirituality, i.e., Franciscan, Benedictine.

LaPetiteSoeur Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The Felicians and the Little Servants of the IC. It depends on what you're looking for. If the habit isn't a must for you, there are many more orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulBride Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 There are the Grey Nuns (founded by St. Marguerite D'youville) they are mostly not habited though (though the ones who taught me were) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really really love working with kids, though, you definitely should investigate the Salesians! edit: allmost forgot another phatmasser--Incarnate Word Sister--who teaches now, BTW, she is a member of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament in Corpus Christi TX.

Chapel Rat Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks everyone! Habit, strong community and prayer life are a must. I prefer working with younger kids. I don't know if it matters, but I currently hold a teaching license in elementary education in the state of IL. I want to start in the Midwest.
