Chiara Francesco Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 From the Visitation Spirit blog: http://visitationspirit.org/2013/04/a-new-community-of-the-visitation-sisters/ A New Community of the Visitation Sisters! By Sister Susan Marie on April 29th, 2013 The St. Jane de Chantal Gallery Community will begin as an “oasis†community within the Georgetown Visitation Monastery on June 6th, 2013! If you are a young woman seeking a contemplative and monastic vocation, have a pioneering spirit yet also value tradition, this community may be your Call! As an “oasis†community, young vocations will have the opportunity to be together with their peers, but also benefit from the wisdom of the Senior Visitandines in the host Monastery, Georgetown Visitation. Being present to the Professed Sisters, yet with a space they can call their own, new members of the St Jane de Chantal Gallery Community will receive a classic formation in the spirituality of the Visitation Order. We will be posting the spiritual elements of this formation throughout the week. If your heart responds to the grace of this invitation to be a pioneering Visitandine within the Order’s tradition, please contact either of the Core Members of the St. Jane de Chantal Gallery Community: Sr. Marie de Chantal VHM Sr. Anne Francis VHM smdecvis@aol.com afclare@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 :clap: The non-cloistered sisters at that convent still teach, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally Franciscan Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I am not quite sure I understand the focus of this new community, but I do wish them well and many vocations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I am not quite sure I understand the focus of this new community, but I do wish them well and many vocations. I think the purpose is to start a contemplative house within the older convent of teaching sisters. Probably to support the teachers with an apostolate of prayer. If I'm not mistaken, the Georgetown convent has not received many vocations of late, and the other Visitation monasteries (the contemplative ones) have. So this may be the beginning of a transition of that community to a total-contemplative house. But that's just speculation. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
