Is this order in communion with Rome? I ask because I believe it is located in New Hampshire, and it is not listed on the website of the diocese of Manchester, NH.  [If I am incorrect, and it IS in communion, my apologies.]

This order IS in communion. The one that is not is in Richmond, NH.

This convent is one of the two in Massachusetts, both of which are in communion with Rome. Sr. Mary Catherine has explained this before - maybe she could again.

Richmond is in communion and has never not been. Their status as a religious institute was irregular. Those are 2 different things. Now they are a private association of the faithful, I believe. It might be public. I don't remember. Anyway, they have approval by the diocese.

A blog post on the investiture. http://www.saintbenedict.com/index.php/sbc-newsblog/blog/item/1667-new-novice-feb11

Am I missing it or does this community of sisters pray no part of the Divine Office? Just curious.

 

 

I think you missed it.  They specifically say 'Vespers and Compline (i.e., Evening Prayer and Night Prayer) and they may mean 'Lauds' for Morning Prayers.

Of course, many communities in the days before Vatican II had the sisters simply praying litanies and prayers (and/or the Little Office of the BVM), so it wasn't at all an odd question!   :)

No, they don't pray Lauds. The sisters at their "sister" community: sistersofstbenedictcenter.org prays Lauds, Vespers and Compline. They sing it in Latin and do it beautifully. The use the OSB monastic diurnal.

I didn't get the link with the schedule: http://sistersofstbenedictcenter.org/community.html Sorry.
