Pio Nono Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 JMJ 7/28 - St. Innocent I Interested in checking out various religious communities, but don't know where to look? Look no further than [url="http://www.belknapdigital.com/rl.directory.intro.html"]Belknap's Directory of Religious Life Communities[/url]!!! There's a bunch of cool orders listed with them, and some that...aren't so cool...but if you need any help distinguishing, contact myself or another member of the Church Faithful!

Br. Augustino Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 My personal oppinion is to know what it is your looking for and then ask some people who are in the know and are trustworthy (read orthodox). Cuase if not then your on like a wild vocation chase and you visit so much you dont know what from what. focus... this isnt vocation shopping.. It is discernment- big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photosynthesis Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 (edited) The CMSWR (Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious) directory is a great resource for women discerning religious life. You can go to their website [url="http://www.cmswr.org"]here[/url]. Edited October 8, 2004 by photosynthesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second. My younger (14 year old) daughter is interested in becoming a nun. When you look in this directory, how do you know which orders are vibrant, alive and faithful to the magisterium?

jgirl Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 [quote name='drewmeister2' date='Oct 20 2004, 08:56 PM'] I think the best way to find out is to visit the community, and learn more about the orders' history, and talking with other communities sometimes helps, asking one community about another. [/quote] I second Drewmeister's thoughts! Generally, the orders that still have habits and are getting young vocations are the vibrant ones. The CMSWR is where a lot of the good active communities are (although I don't think the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist and the Sister Servants of the Eternal Word are in yet, but they will be someday!). She can look at some of the websites of the orders listed and see which ones interest her and then maybe go visit some. Visiting is the only way you can tell because you get to see how the community works, how faithful they are, how vibrant they are, and how you interact with them.

BurkeFan Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 [url="http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/country/xrel.html"]http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/country/xrel.html[/url] Another ref list, with abbreviations! But, it has only those orders who have had / have one of their order who is a bishop. But it is a fairly big list, with the abbreviations and nicknames.
