Sponsa-Christi Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 While I was google searching for something unrelated, I came across the website of this new community: http://daughtersofthevirginmother.com/about.html I was just wondering, has anyone heard of them before? (I'm asking for basically academic reasons---as a canonist it's very interesting for me read about new communities and what prompted their development.)

Marie Villalovos Smith Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 No I haven't, but the Sister in the habit looks awfully familiar to me, but can't place her or a name. Pax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pia Jesu Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Forgive me for conjecturing a bit..how about the former Sr. Mary Raphael of the Divine Physician, PCPA (Charlotte, NC & Hanceville)? If so, what an amazing vocation journey! Reminds me of Mother Teresa of Calcutta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia Jesu Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Quick response! There is a Catholic News Herald article written by Sr. Mary Raphael of the new community, Daughters of the Virgin Mary! What a wonderful charism... http://www.catholicnewsherald.com/viewpoints/50-news/roknewspager-viewpoints/8840-sister-mary-raphael-lady-of-sorrows-in-faith-she-walked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysostom Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I was captivated by the idea of spiritual motherhood for priests the first I heard of it. It's a wonderful thing and it bears witness to the invisible realities of the economy of grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie Villalovos Smith Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Now I know why she looks so familiar. I have watched her though all the different changes she has gone through. But until now I didn't know that she had moved to the Daughters of the Virgin Mary..God bless and keep her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katherineH Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 This is such a beautiful charism! It looks like she is the foundress and currently the only member of the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunsuch Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So can it be a "community" with just one member? I thought a community had to have at least 3 to begin the process of recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally Franciscan Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 At OLAM, her name was Sr. Marie St. Anne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feankie Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yes, it indeed looks like the former Alison aka St. Marie St, Anne, PCPA aka Sr. Raphael, PCPA I know she left Hanceville due to illness, but I have no idea why she left Charlotte. Mother never told me and I didn't ask. She just said that she was no longer with them. Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
