Anoni Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I am very interested in Extern Sisters, particularly for the PCPA and the PCCs. I wonder if anyone could help me find out more about Externs? Thank you and God bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graciandelamadrededios Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 After Vatican II, externs are now part of the Order. They follow the same constitutions just like the cloistered sisters but they have a separate statutes to govern their activities outside the cloister. According to an OCD Nun in Manila, the difference between cloistered and extern sisters is a matter of geography: cloistered sisters work and pray inside the cloister, while extern sisters work and pray outside the cloister.

Nunsuch Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The degree of enclosure, separation, etc., varies widely from monastery to monastery. So it is always well to ask the community that is of particular interest to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
