LadyOfSorrows Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 [quote name='i<3LSOP' timestamp='1316811879' post='2309018'] Aww! You were lucky! Did you get to go begging with them? [/quote] No, I wasn't able to! But I did collect donations with one of the sisters (on accident). I was visiting my friend who was then recently ordained a deacon, and one of the sisters was there begging. I went up to say hello to her and she kindly asked me to hold a basket I have considered discerning with them, but I am far, far from making any decisions or discerning seriously with a particular order. You should definitely discern with them though...such an incredible order! Also, I think they may still have summer live-ins available to discerners, if you're interested!

LadyOfSorrows Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I<3LSOP...do you know when the aspirants enter? I made a dear friend at a discernment retreat who was considering entering with the LSOP...I lost touch with her but I'm wondering if she's entering this year.

i<3franciscans Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 [quote name='i<3LSOP' timestamp='1316386831' post='2306473'] Hi Ya'll! I was just wondering if you knew any Little Sisters of the Poor! I am a volunteer at the home in Latham and go every Tuesday with some of my friends! I simply love them! They're all so great! I was especially wondering if you might know, Sr. Mary Grace (who sadly moved down to the home in Queens) or if you know Sr. Joan!? If you do............... well that would be sooooo coooollll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.s. i<3franciscans..... this one is not fair for you... [/quote] What do you want to know about them?? LOL miss u!!!!!

I'm way to young to go in the summer time! Unless they like crazy kids between the age of 11 and 15 I am praying so hard though that I will get to go to Queens this year!

i<3LSOP Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 [quote name='LadyOfSorrows' timestamp='1316529919' post='2307589'] I know all of the sisters in DC! I spent a summer there volunteering and it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. Sr. Camille Rose is just delightful...as well as Sr. Bernadette, Sr. Janet...I also know a novice in NY. Wonderful order! [/quote] Did you get to see any of their rooms, or well sorry but bathrooms?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyOfSorrows Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 No, their rooms are in the cloistered part of the convent Keep volunteering with them and loving Jesus and one day you may be able to stay a summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i<3LSOP Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 So then LadyOfSorrows you didn't stay on the convent floor? I went up once to help a Sister carry something up and (oh well actually twice) to practice my violin with one of the Sisters! When I did go up to help one of the Sisters the other Sister in the elevator was rather horrified! I wouldn't stop volunteering ever so I could have a chance to go in the summer when I'm older!
