Religious Vocations


ForHimAlone

Recommended Posts

For those discerning a call to the religious life, what orders and/or communities are you looking into? I think it would be awesome to see the order/community that you feel might be where God is drawing you to!

Mine:

Carmelite Order [url="http://www.heartsawake.com"]http://www.heartsawake.com[/url]

Dominican Nuns of Perpetual Rosary [url="http://www.op.org/nunsopsummit/"]http://www.op.org/nunsopsummit/[/url]

Cistercian Nuns [url="http://www.nunocist.org/"]http://www.nunocist.org/[/url]

Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia [url="http://www.nashvilledominican.org/Main.htm"]http://www.nashvilledominican.org/Main.htm[/url]

May God bless you all on your vocation journeys!

jgirl, I've had quite a bit of contact with the Franciscan Sisters of the Martyr Saint George. They hold monthly retreats at their convent in our diocese. It's such a wonderful order!! If you ever want contact information with the sisters in the La Crosse, WI diocese, let me know, and I can give you their info.

I went to go visit them in October and had an awesome time!

[url="http://www.ssfpa.org/"]Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration[/url]

[url="http://www.rc.net/lincoln/schoolsisters/"]School Sisters of Christ the King[/url]

[url="http://www.sl.edu/fscc/"]Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity[/url]

Okay that's all of them!

SOme orders I am currently trying to get more info on...

I don't have links right now, but I can find them again and I can also clarify specifics later as well...

Dominican Clositered Nuns in Louisiana (Monestary of the Heart of Jesus)
Passionist Nuns in Kentucky (I forget the Monestary...)
Carmelites in MI (Monestary of St. Therese and Monestary of the Holy Cross)
Poor Clares in Rockford (Corpus Christi Monestary) and Belleville (Monestary of Our Lady of Mercy) IL
Visitation Nuns in PA (Monestary of the Visitation)

In all honesty, I am trying to get a taste of all sorts of Cloistered life...

Thanks! I was talking with mom and she thinks my descion should be based on how close the convent is to home <_< That's why I was leaning toward Kentuky... Thanks for the "tip" though!
