Totus Tuus Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 They run Casa Maria retreat center. They were founded by a former Dominican of St. Cecilia with the help of Mother Angelica. They are TOTALLY faithful to the Magisterium. Located down the road from EWTN, you can check out the order and go on retreat at the same time if/when you visit Alabama. casamaria.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr. Luis Marie asked me to spread the word about a vocational retreat they're having for girls interested in the order, so PM me if you'd like some information.

jgirl Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 No, I didn't play the card game with them--just Taboo! I'm thinking of bringing Apples to Apples when I go down in a week and a half! I took out all the cards that they might not get (like Britney Spears) and other ones that might not be "convent appropriate" as they like to say. I love those sisters! They are so full of joy! When is that discernment retreat? I will spread the word around, too. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daugher-of-Mary Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Were you at Fr. Wade's retreat last summer? I thought I remembered someone named "Jen" being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgirl Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I will definitely send greetings from you guys! They totally glow. What's random is the last time I went down to see them, I was at an Annemariea Schmidt retreat. My flights were delayed about 9 hours, so instead of getting in around 3 pm on Friday, I got in around 1 am! Sister Marie Bernadette and Sister Louise Marie still picked me up! I was so dead tired by the time breakfast came around because my roommate snored (the Sisters let me sleep through morning prayer and Mass). I totally zoned out during breakfast, listened to the first talk of the day and then went back to bed. I didn't really talk to anybody that day because I spent it sleeping, but then on Sunday during lunch, these women I was sitting with were talking about being Hurricane Refugees, and one of them just stopped and looked at me. She said, "I think you have a vocation! These sisters glow, and darlin' you're glowing right now!" So the entire table started talking about how I, a stranger to them, had a vocation. It was really kind of weird. I just hope that my flight isn't delayed so long this time, so I can get more out of it, although I think it would be kind of humorous if I had such an extended delay again.
