Im sure they would make allowances if they knew you were 17, some girls enter just after they turn 18. I am all for a secret code word! What should it be though?... Any ideas?

she_who_is_not Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Darn. I may be up at the Motherhouse depending on my schedule. However, the Knoxville retreats are heaps more convenient. I'll keep you in my prayers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks for posting these dates. I'm really interested in the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, they are pretty amesome.

Praying for your discernment! Thanks for the prayers! We should work out a way of dropping the code word casually in coversation to work out who the phatmassers are!

Catherine Therese Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 MM - your time must be getting pretty close - when do you fly out to the US? If I don't get to speak to you before you go - God speed, know of my prayers.

I'm SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!! :D I leave on 10 August and I'm coming by way of a two-day pit stop in Hawaii... is that naughty of me? My intention is to laze around on sunny beaches with a few good books, maybe a couple of drinks with little umbrellas in them and the company of my about-to-be-sister who is accompanying me on the journey. Jokes about luxury aside, however - its actually saving me about $600 to go and spend two days in Hawaii rather than flying directly from Sydney to Nashville, and hey, its a way more pleasant way to do the trip and beat the jet lag, so why not? Anyway, I've hijacked your retreat thread - I'm sorry. Ladies, please direct your attention to the information about the upcoming retreats in Alma and Knoxville, above!!!! God bless xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
