Sr. Marjorie can receive numerous visits from us - basically once a month except during Lent and Advent. Since we live a good distance from Lockport, it is unlikely that we'll travel there more than a couple of times a year.

Although few things are written in stone, the monastic nature of the Monastery of the Heart of Jesus generally doesn't include making outside visits.

During Lent and Advent, when the sisters observe the solemnity of the season, they neither write nor receive personal mail. During the balance of the year, they receive their mail on Sundays.

Sr. Marjorie writes to immediate family members once a month and to others at Christmas.

Sr. Mary Agnes OP, isn't that her name in religion now? Bumping this thread up, because it might do some of us Vocation Station people a power of good, to know someone who entered and is still there. Aren't Sr. Mary Agnes's photos on the Lockport monastery's blog?

Do you know how the girl from UK is doing?

I think it would be more appropriate to direct that question and others regarding community affairs to the community itself.
