Gabriela Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Does anyone know of any orders that meet all of the three following criteria? 1) Founded in Ireland. 2) Still extant (and not obviously dying out). 3) Faithful to the Magisterium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Well, the mercy sisters were founded in Ireland and the Alma Mercy sisters are directly from them so I guess you could say they cover all 3 criteria! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Well, the mercy sisters were founded in Ireland and the Alma Mercy sisters are directly from them so I guess you could say they cover all 3 criteria! Is "the Mercy Sisters" the same as the "Sisters of Mercy"? Sorry. I seriously don't know if those are two different orders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yes, the Sisters of Mercy. The Religious Sisters of Alma are a break off from the big congregation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yes, the Sisters of Mercy. The Religious Sisters of Alma are a break off from the big congregation. I presume they broke off because they wanted to preserve some of the older traditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
