Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Mr. Zak has me looking for all sorts of contemplative communties to be prayer warriors for the Here I Am Lord conferences... I think I may have a list of just about every Discalced Carmel in the US, all of the Trappists/Cisternians, Cathursians, Sister Adorers of the Precious Blood, along with a good number of Benedictines, Poor Clares, Dominicans, and a number of other smaller orders. I think I will list the communities and the name of the abbey/monastery/whatever (if I have it) and location so you all can tell me what communities are faithful and orthodox (or not...) and if I am missing any that should be there! (A major thanks to Gemma and her site; it helped big time with this!) Okay… *gulp* here it goes!

Gemma Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Visitation nuns in Washington, DC? I know there used to be one in New York City or thereabouts (NOT the Second Federation Brooklyn monastery--I'm talking a First Federation monastery). When did this happen? To which federation do they belong? Blessings, Gemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a CP monastery in Clark Summit, PA, but we don't promote them because they modernized too much. Last I saw, they wore 'civvies'. Where's the fifth one?

the_rev Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think the Carmelites in New Franken and Denmark are one in the same convent. They just built a new convent (for four or five sisters; this convent cost 12 million dollars I think) and now are only in denmark. Now dont' quote me, but I think this accurate.
