Lisa Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 A few girls and I are putting together a 3-day nun run to St. Louis. I value your amesome knowledge of communities/orders here of Phatmass. So, where would you go? Rules: can't be too far from St. Louis (so no Valparaiso Carmel... sad day). But can be between Lafayette, IN and St. Louis (a stop there or on the way back) Want a mixture of active, active/contemplatives, and cloistered/contemplative sisters.

abrideofChrist Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I was planning a 7 day nun run to St. Louis and had to cancel it. But it included a half day at the Cathedral on June 2, 2011 where Archbishop Carlson will be conferring the Solemn Consecration upon a virgin in the Cathedral, which is the only ceremony a consecrated virgin has for her vocation. You may want to consider that as a good way of expanding your nun run to let the young women see the oldest form of consecrated life. Also, I had planned a short visit to some Secular Institutes and a Rome based Association of the Faithful that wishes to become a Society of Apostolic Life for variety.

MargaretTeresa Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 When will it be? I'd be interested in meeting up with y'all at the cathedral if it's feasible with my schedule. I live about two and half hours south of there and I want to make a quick run up to StL at some point. Don't forget the Daughters of St. Paul have a bookstore there! Yes, I know they're sisters, but it is where the postulants do their time. I hope to get up there to visit them as well this summer.

MithLuin Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Here's the address for the Poor Clares in St. Louis: http://www.franciscanconnection.org/involve/PoorClares.htm Monastery of St. Clare 200 Marycrest Drive St. Louis, MO 63129 Carmel of St. Joseph: (Discalced Carmelites) 9150 Clayton Road, St Louis, MO 63124-1898 (314) 993-6899 http://www.meditationsfromcarmel.com/gallery/index.html Either one would probably be good examples of 'contemplative' for your nun run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlmom Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 We are fortunate to have so many religious communities in St. Louis! I can't think of another one to add to what's already been mentioned. The public chapel of the Carmelites is one of the most beautiful in town, so don't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
