williamb Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) [quote name='williamb' post='995995' date='Jun 3 2006, 02:58 AM'] The pink sisters also have convents in Lincoln, Nebraska and in Texas. The Passionists have 5 US convents. [/quote] Missouri has a Passionist convent I believe. It's part of the St. Louis Diocese site on their contemplative sisters. BTW don't forget the Good Shepherd Contemplatives. Also there are at least 12 Benedictine monasteries which are fully contemplative.

Someone I know was accepted to enter there, but she hasn't due to family problems. As I said, I don't cover the "undercover" nuns. The habit is what the Lord wants. A discerner I worked with looked at the OSBs in Missouri, and after she started attending the Latin Mass, wouldn't have anything to do with them. I had developed a monastic tour of St. Louis, but we moved before I could implement it. Blessings, Gemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeZakYm Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 In addition to what Angela is working on for me, I have a list of 200 communities in spreadsheet format. We will be posting al of them to the Conference Website during the summer. Thanks to all who are assisting Angela, we need Prayer Warriors to open the minds and hearts of teens, young adults and parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThyHolyLove Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Sorry to be a bummer, but the Newark monastery of the Dominican Nuns closed in 2003. It is now a formation house for the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.Also, the Washington D.C. sisters are moving to Virginia and building a new monastery.

franciscanheart Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 The idea about a convent database is a great one! That would be really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSoror Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 [quote name='the_rev' post='996016' date='Jun 3 2006, 05:57 AM'] 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. [/quote] They did move from the New Franken address to Denmark. The convent is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my life; I got to tour it before they moved. My understanding is that there are more than five sisters. Someone who is fairly close to them told me 12, I think. I was surprised, though, because that's more than what I'd heard. I've heard them sing the divine office before, and their voices sounded young. (You can't see them even through the grate because of the way the chapel is positioned.)

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?

melikalani Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I can vouch for the orthodoxy of both the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Santa Clara and the Poor Clare Nuns of Los Altos Hills. They are both great communities... and growing! Each cloister added 2 postulants last year, thanks be to God! :lol_grin: :lol_grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamb Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Discalced Carmelites by the rules of St. Theresa can only have at most 21 members to a monastery. This was/is to keep a family type atmosphere in a house of prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marieteresa Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Schenectady and Pittsford Carme merged last year so now they are all at Schenectady. Also FYI there are a few Carmels that have more than 21 sisters.....They have to obtain permission from the Holy See to be able to have more sisters.
