Totally Franciscan Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1336177401' post='2427251'] Oy vey! Sounds like we are in almost the same boat. I didn't get my calling until I was 24 and I'm going to be 29 in July. One order said that if I wanted to enter, I needed to enter within the next year or so or I'd reach their cut-off! My friend is 52 and just entered a religious order in New England. She had the worst problem trying to contact orders because, once they heard her age, they told her there was no way they would consider her. She tried to go to England last year but her health deteriorated because of an autoimmune disorder. She left them and then was accepted to 2 orders. The one she just entered was one of the ones she contacted about 4 or 5 months before she left and her email kept circling and got lost until she returned. It was so weird. I'm really happy that she found a place in the USA. [/quote] MM, would you be kind enough to tell me the two orders that accepted your friend? Since I am 'mature', I would be very grateful to you. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1AMDG Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have 2 questions here: 1) Does anyone knows what happened to Sr Therese, one of the founder of the Benedictines of Mary Queen of Apostles? 2) I am in Quebec Canada, a bishop may help us for a new religious traditional community foundation. If you know any serious women interested please let me know. When time arrive, I can give you the name of the bishop and you may contact him to make sure of the references ... because we never know what can happen from the web. The community may be benedictine, or Dominican. or... God know's what... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
