Sponsa-Christi Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Sisters of the Immaculata (http://www.sistersoftheimmaculata.org.au/) I met some of these Sisters in Rome a little while ago, and they were really lovely. I think their main apostolate is spiritual renewal in parishes. Their spirituality is very Marian (obviously!), and they also have a focus on Eucharistic adoration. I'm not sure how well-known they are, though, so I thought a link might be of interest to some of the Australian VS-ers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Wonderful! It looks like they are receiving new vocations which is even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2beChrist'sBride Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 These Sisters are absolutely beautiful and are so needed here in Australia. They run an annual two week mission school for the youth as they work a lot with the youth as well as running youth groups and retreats. It's been incredible that they are almost 5 years old and they already have so many vocations its absolutely beautiful! We are so blessed to have them in Australia.

BarbTherese Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 New one to me. Which state are they in? Wonderful to see religious in Australia in habit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I have heard a little about them and think they're wonderful! They don't seem very well-known as far as I'm aware. Barb, I believe they're based in NSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2beChrist'sBride Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 They were based in Sydney (lewisham) but are now relocating to Tasmania. They aren't very well known because they are only 5 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine Therese Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I know them personally - they're aMAZing :)Hearing Mother Mary Therese's vocation story was a real eye-opener! I used to see the second sister to join the community in a work context fairly frequently, and I used to go to university with the third sister to join the community!Actually, Mother Mary Therese and those two other sisters I mentioned travelled to the US and did "Summer School" with the Congregation to whom I used to belong, during my time there. It was wonderful to spend some time with them and to study with them and to have them living among us at that time.I've run into a couple of them since returning to Australia, too. Their charism is a much-needed contribution to the New Evangelisation IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary+Immaculate<3 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 As soon as I saw "Immaculata" I got excited because I love St. Maximilian Kolbe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmb144 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 And with a top discernment age of 30, they are out of reach for many out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0tusTuus Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hmm...interesting... Does anyone know if they are charismatic? It seems their Summer School has charismatic elements, but i couldn't figure out whether is just something they do at youth events only. Are they open to receiving Holy Communion kneeling?

Guest Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I do like the white veils even for professed i.e. always novices (learning) in religious life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0tusTuus Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 good point- didn't think of that- saw their picture on the Maternal Heart website and it didn't seem that it's the Benedictine community- but the habit is very beautiful- btw- what's with the search engine? I can hardly search- it only works like once ever 20mins or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
