Laurentina1975 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 It's all good. I think all of us discerning a call to RL consider associateship in some form, it can keep us rooted in Christ. Especially if we are not called to RL. God Bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srmarymichael Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Actually, the call to Religious Life and the call to be wife/mother are intimately related. I was called to be a wife and mother, but I didn't know that Jesus was to be my Spouse and that the children in my apostolate would be my children until later on! God works in mysterious ways!

[/quote] For those who may be interested, there are four secular institutes in this Pauline family: Holy Family is for married folks, the Annunciationists is for single women, the Gabrielites is for single men, and there is one for diocisan priests, but I've forgotten the name of it. The institutes for married people, single women, and single men have a postulancy, novitiate, temporary profession and perpetual profession of the three vows. Don't know how the one for diocisan priests works in that area. The priests and brothers in Canfield could tell you about the institutes...

PrayerSupporter Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 [quote name='OLAM Dad' post='1037211' date='Aug 3 2006, 08:07 PM'] Thanks for the info PrayerSupporter. How come you know so much about the DSP? [/quote] Hello, OLAM Dad, Hmmm...since I didn't even mention the DSPs, I don't quite understand where your question is coming from. I know a little bit about the DSPs, and a little bit more about the Pauline family -- which is a group of religious orders (the Society of St. Paul, the Daughters of St. Paul, the Pius Disciplies, etc.) and the four secular institutes mentioned, all founded by Father James Alberione. I once belonged to the Annunciationists before I discerned that it was not where God wanted me. We often had our retreats at the Society of St. Paul's monastery in Canfield, Ohio. And a couple times the DSPs let us use their retreat house in Massachusettes. They even once let us have one of our profession ceremonies in the chapel at their motherhouse. So, while I would not say I know "so much" about them, I do have happy memories of both the DSPs and the Annunciationists. PrayerSupporter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandelynmarie Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 How beautiful...Canfield is just a hop, skip & jump from me...in fact, I was at their bookstore 2 days ago...The priests occasionally say Mass at my parish too...I had looked into the Annunciationists for awhile, but then felt that God had other plans for me too...
