benedictaj Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Heya people, At the moment I am really looking at contemplative life and recently, the Dominican nuns are really starting to appeal. Even though I live in NZ, I am looking at monasteries in different countries (including the US.) I was wondering if anyone had any personal info about different communities. I am particularly interested in these nuns: www.op.org/nunsopsummit and we are emailing at the moment. I am also interested in the SMME's (of course!) I'm mostly interested in them for their approach to everything, including study. Although I also feel called to the Poor Clares... Ah well. Thanks...

ThyHolyLove Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I've heard the Summit Dominicans are a great group! I would also recommend the Dominicans in Lockport, Louisiana. One of the girls from phatmass, Marjorie just entered with them. They only have three sisters and are looking for some more young women! You can email Sr. Mary Imelda for more info Ldominican@aol.com Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karin Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I am going to visit the Lockport Dominicans in August. tee hee they are definately a wonderful group. I know dont you just love Sister Mary Imelda? The Monastery of The Sacred Heart is where I want to enter. Also if you dont feel called there here is another very good Dominican Monastery : [url="http://www.opsouth.org/opnunslufkin/"]http://www.opsouth.org/opnunslufkin/[/url] . Well prayers for your discernment. it would be very cool though if we went to the same one in Lockport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
