God bless! [/quote] I am obviously not a discerner But even if no one acknowledges your inquiry I would like to encourage you in your cosideration of that Convent. I am a friend of the Nashville Dominicans and I am so impressed with their charism, their apostolate and their life as consecrated religious. As I am sure you know, Mother Assumpta there in Ann Arbor had come from Nashville and hugely (is that a word?) contributed to the success of the Nashville Dominicans. I understand what she has begun there in Ann Arbor is flourishing as well. If you are able, and so inclined, sometime make a retreat there and see for yourself. : Mr. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLAM Dad Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Chelsea (FutureSoror) is joining the SMME this August.

This will be her first [i]real[/i] exposure to them so I can't say that she is seriously discerning them just yet but ask again next week and I'll let you know.

Guest phatdaddy Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 ooops, sorry didn't know. You could still visit them. I visit the N OP's all the time. They are very kind to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 well, i'd like to make a retreat there, but seeing how they are in Michigan and i am not (not even close), it would be a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If they are like the N. OP's they don't do retreats for the married's. But they usually allow participation in Mass and Divine Office and personal prayer time in their Chapel. I'm just guessing. I live in the Houston area and I take my family every year through Birmingham (EWTN), Hanceville (PCPA) and up to Nashville (OP) and other places of excitement. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discerned with the DSMME's and went on two retreats there. I was very close to getting entrance papers, but then things changed. I'm like you Lil Red, they are the only religious order I financially support, not that there aren't other good ones out there, but the DSMME's send sooo many fundraising things each year I couldn't afford any place else. They are a lovely group. Sr. Carly (crusader03?) and the former Sr. Ali is it Sr. John Mary now, I can't rem (sista2be) are former phatmassers who entered this order.

[/quote] I know it can be tough to get to Ann Arbor. Even though Michigan is border state to Ontario it took me some time to get there. As we mentioned they have a retreat for the married women in December. Edited May 4, 2006 by passionheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
