Jennifer Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Sister Lucia Marie looks so very happy at her Vestition Ceremony. It's lovely to see this Community expanding like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orapronobis Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's sad that they are definitely the exception to the rule in terms of the passionists. All the other communities seem to be aging and shutting down (correct me if I'm wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia Jesu Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The website for the Ellisville, MO Passionist nuns is shutting down at the end of March--but their Facebook page is updated! Good news...a postulant will be entering in May! The community has a video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?=ifykv48gYlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia Jesu Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Sorry...you might have to put "Passionist Nuns Ellisville, MO" in the YouTube search box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orapronobis Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Do you think that this community might start sending out sisters to "bulk up" the other passionist convents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Do you think that this community might start sending out sisters to "bulk up" the other passionist convents? I have no idea how Passionist Communities work in regard to possibly transferring Sisters (as opposed to starting a new foundation if the Community were to outgrow the Kentucky monastery and/or received a call from another diocese to start a new Passionist Community there). I might be wrong, but I've gotten the feeling that the MO Passionist Community might be more conservative than the KY Community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia Jesu Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The Institute on Religious Life (IRL) describes each of the Passionist Monasteries as "autonomous and independent." Not quite sure what that entailed...I found an excerpt from a well-reviewed book titled A New Commentary on the Code of Canon Law by John Beal: Canon 615 -- An autonomous monastery does not have another major superior besides its own moderator and is not associated to another institute of religious in such a way that the superior of the latter possesses true power over such a monastery as determined by the constitutions [and] is entrusted to the special vigilance of the diocesan bishop according to the norm of law. This section of the book deals with issues like formation, enclosure and transfers--and is very interesting to read. Perhaps Sr. Catherine will offer her opinion on whether or not an autonomous monastery would send nuns to another convent in need or accept nuns from a monastery that was closing.

orapronobis Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Are carmelites autonomous? I'm just asking because I know that they tend to start again from scratch when they move sisters to different convents, (like the Elysburg/Danville sisters.)

I think so I like ther blog and espicially the penance page and the ligurty page.I was suprised sister could keep all of that hair under her veil!!!
