be_thou_my_vision Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi Everyone! I am calling the Carmelite Nuns in Terre Haute today as soon as I get done with classes (at about 1). I think we are scheduling a visit.... ahhh! I am so nervous! I have thought about these sisters for 3 years, and I have never visited, but I think this summer is my chance! The website is [url="http://www.heartsawake.com"]Carmel of Terre Haute[/url]. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisChild Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I wil keep you in my prayers. They look like they don't have the strict cloister (grille in parlor and chapel). . .are they still cloistered nuns? They make lovely cards, don't they? I won't know if you visit, because I will already have entered but will keep you in my prayers! God bless you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortnun Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 For all those interested in Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, I highly recommend checking out what the nuns have up.... click on "Monastery" and then "What is new". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be_thou_my_vision Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yes, they are cloistered, but they do not have a grill. I think they are more lenient when it comes to the cloister, but I don't know. I am going to call them in about 10 minutes!!! ahhh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

be_thou_my_vision Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 She said call back at 3. I love my boyfriend, but I have an tugging at my heart to be in Carmel. I love both so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be_thou_my_vision Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Okay calling for real now. haha, take two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be_thou_my_vision Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Wooo! I did it! I talked to Sister Mary Helen, and it couldn't have gone better. I feel so at peace. Everything will be fine. They are getting 2 postulants this year, and one is making first vows. Their constitutions have changed, so they don't have a really strict cloister, to answer your question.

But all the while, please be assured of a storm of prayers from all of us here on the boards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
