Nathan Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 The Jesuits have a good amount of novices every year. The Franciscans do alright too, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benedictaj Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 There is a Dominican monastery somewhere that is receiving heaps of vocations. They've had two first Professions in the last four months. And they keep getting Postulants! I can't remember which one it is, maybe the Monastery of Our Lady of Grace? Theres about 40-50 sisters or something...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC IMaGiNaZUN Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I have heard the CFRs are doing well, but i havent seen precise facts. That is the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in New York. Some notable members are Fr. Benedict Groeschel and Fr. Stan Fortuna. The Carmelite Sisters of the Sacred Heart in Los Angeles seem to be doing fairly well for themselves.

ruso Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 The "Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara". it is the feminine branch of the IVE (Institute of the incarnated word) [url="http://www.iveamerica.org/"]http://www.iveamerica.org/[/url]. Created in 1984 in Argentina, has almost 500 sisters professes and about 200 priests and brothers, they are in the five continents. I believe that it is the catholic institute of greater growth in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
