MissScripture Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 So, my sister is a soon-to-be novice with the Nashville Dominicans. She and I discussed what my baby should call her, but never really came up with a solution. How do you refer to Religious who are related to you, or how have you heard other people do it?

Ave Maria Totus Tuus Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) One of my best friends is a Nashville Dominican (side note, she professes her Final Vows on Monday!!), and her little nephew calls her "Aunt Sister" :-) Edited July 24, 2011 by Ave Maria Totus Tuus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she_who_is_not Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 How about Aunt Sister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ave Maria Totus Tuus Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 And another note, in the company of family, they all call her by her baptismal name. But in the company of others, they call her by her religious name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyP89 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 For priests and brothers, I've always heard "Uncle". The new priest at our parish is Fr. Ed, and he told us recently his young niece likes to call him Uncle Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I have a cousin who is an episcopalian nun. She was an only child, but she was so close to her cousin, that she called him brother and he called her sister. His kids called her sister aunt.

LaPetiteSoeur Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 My priest friend's nieces and nephews call him "Uncle Joe." My friends who know about my vocation said their children are to refer to me as Auntie Sister. Let us know when you decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissScripture Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 We'll all be calling her by her religious name, because that's what she wants. AHHH! I can't wait to find out what her new name is!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
