Ancilla Domini Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) While I was still discerning to which convent I felt that God was calling me, I made this list. The only one I'm not sure about is the Carmelites of Buffalo. They say they have Latin, ("cherish many traditional monastic customs such as the use of Latin and Gregorian Chant.) but I'm not sure if they have the Traditional Latin Mass, or just make use of Latin.

In Corde Matris, – Cilla I can answer that question for you about Buffalo because I discerned with them and spoke to Mother Miriam quite often. They do not have the Latin Mass but they pray the Divine Office in Latin. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's confusing, and I can't tell exactly what they mean. :) Also, if anyone knows any other convents with the Latin Mass, I would be happy to have them on my list. :D In Corde Matris, – Cilla Edited January 2, 2014 by Ancilla Domini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayte Postle Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The Children of Mary (childrenofmary.net) have the TLM quite a bit. They mainly have the NO mass in latin, with the priest facing ad orientem. Sisters of Mary Mother of the Church (www.sistersofmarymc.org) have the TLM, but not exclusively. Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa (www.mariansisters.com) also have the TLM, but not exclusively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponsa-Christi Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Just FYI, I think the Dominican Sisters of Wanganui are with the SSPX, and are therefore not in communion with Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare Brigid Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Numbers 2 and 3 definitely have the traditional Latin Mass (Extraordinary Form) exclusively, and I suspect that Number 6 does as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Just FYI, I think the Dominican Sisters of Wanganui are with the SSPX, and are therefore not in communion with Rome. Oh, really? Thanks for the information! (I hope my mistake does not result in my being "warned.") :D Numbers 2 and 3 definitely have the traditional Latin Mass (Extraordinary Form) exclusively, and I suspect that Number 6 does as well. Number six definitely does - I have a friend who discerned with the friars of Clear Creek, so he knows quite a bit about the sisters. I'm also pretty positive about the Valparaiso Carmelites. (Although there's a small chance that I might be mistaken. But I'm quite sure that they do.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayte Postle Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate (www.franciscansoftheimmaculate.com) to my knowledge have the Traditional Latin Mass the majority of the time, but not exclusively Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus (www.carmelitedcj.org) in their Central Province have the Traditional Latin Mass at least once a month, not sure about the other provinces though. edit: ...i can't spell...

I know that the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate had the Latin Mass, (In fact, I discerned with them for quite a while.) but being confused about this recent commotion about them, I didn't put them down. I know that they recently made a protest, but I'm not sure what's going to come of it. I'll wait, and hope, and pray. :) Oh, I didn't know that the Carmelites of DHJ had th Latin Mass at all. Thanks.

Yes, my friend is a member of the Carmelite community as a 2-year novice (making vows in July) and they have Latin Mass at least once a month. On special occasions, they also have Latin Mass as celebration. They are a very beautiful community. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiquitunga Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I don't believe the Cistercian Nuns in Prairie du Sac, WI have it, but rather the Office all in Latin like Buffalo Carmel. More Carmels to add there are Valparaiso's foundations ~ Elysburg & Canyon (they have both forms for the time being) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancilla Domini Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Is it just my own ignorance, or does it seem to you that there isn't a single Poor Clare convent that has the Latin Mass, anymore? In Corde Matris, – Olivia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiquitunga Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The only one I know of in the US that has it on a regular basis is Minooka, once a month ~ http://poorclaresjoliet.org/ I know at least one monastery of the Poor Clares of the Immaculate in Italy would like it have it exclusively, and use the old breviary, but they only have it from time to time at present. Also, as long as I mention them, to make it clear, they are not officially part of the Religious Institute of the Franciscans of the Immaculate, as the Friars and Sisters are, although they share their spirituality. But they are in the Order of St. Clare and each of their monasteries are sui iuris (ie, autonmous, independent even of each other) as the 1990s Carmels are and answer directly to the Holy See.
