Kateri89 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Just for fun, what name would you choose if you were a religious Sister? Obviously from my username, I love St. Kateri but there are lots of other saints I love. I know in some Orders the Superior picks the name for you but this is purely hypothetical. So if you could pick your new name, what would it be and why? <---I just really like this emoticon and wanted to use it. It has nothing to do with the topic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Women are interesting indeed. Before I discerned out, I never had huge lists of what my Religious name would be, or thought about it much. I just figured what my Superior chose it would be fine.

ChristinaTherese Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Whatever Mother chose, but I would like it to follow the pattern of: Sr. <Mary, Maria, Marie, or any other form of Mary> <some Saint's name> of the <Passion, Cross, or Sacred Heart>. Of course, the title is only if the order has them.... And I definitely would like Mary to come first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikita92 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Doesnt one have to stick with their community's moniker? Like Mother Angelica's sister's have many "Marie's-Maria in their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateri89 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 I don't have a long list of potential names because I feel like I should want a name of a saint that I have a lot in common with. But in any case, I can think of a few that I would really like: Sr. Maria Teresa Sr. Kateri Teresa Sr. Maria Bakhita I'm thinking that if I have any choice in the name, it should start with Maria. I picked that as my confirmation name for St. Maria Goretti and for some reason, it just feels like a comfortable fit if ya know what I mean.

OnlySunshine Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 A while back, if you had asked me what I wanted, I would have said Sr. Mary Elizabeth or Sr. Mary Isabela. I still LOVE those names but I am growing very attached to my patron saints for this year and I might like to have either: Sr. John Paul Sr. Jerzy (for Bl. Jerzy Popieluszko) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
