Have You Narrowed It Down To Specific Orders Or Communities?

[OnlySunshine]

Good luck with it! :)

 

Thank you!  At least I know it's a real possibility.  I've heard of some Bishops who do not consecrate virgins but I'm hopeful the current Bishop of my diocese, who is very much for promoting vocations, will allow it.  :)

Did we get our normal avatars back? I guess so! Thank goodness!

Not sure yet but possibly the Carmelites in Alexandria and/or their new foundation in Bismarck, North Dakota

I'm waiting for someone to found a community of female Jesuits.  Now with a Jesuit Pope, maybe someone will get inspired.   :smile3:

It's funny you say that because I was really wondering if there was any Jesuit Sisters. I don't think I'm called to be a Jesuit but I was curious

The Sisters of St. Joseph were founded by a Jesuit. The SSJ has an Ignatian-Salesian spirituality; "with an orientation toward excellence, tempered by gentleness, peace, and joy."

Like I said, I don't think I'm called to be a Jesuit, therefore, I am not interested in the Sisters of St. Joseph

At the moment, I'm most interested in the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, the Little Sisters of the Poor, or a fella :)

But a specific variety ;)

Well I may have changed my mind a few hundred times. Right now, I am focusing on the DSMMEs, the Sisters of Mary Mother of the Church and the Sisters of Our Mother of Divine Grace. But I am still thinking about cloistered life too. I guess this is why I can't enter anywhere yet.

Ok things have changed a bit for me, I am still interested in the SMMC but another community has come to my attention and I feel like I need to explore that and see where it goes before I make any decisions.

 

(I have been Catholic for 2 years now so that means one hurdle down in entering with ANY community).

Can I just say: Yay, discernment!!
