I've heard Magdalen has a Blessed Sacrament chapel in every residence hall. Is that true? That would be so awesome! [/quote] YEAH, wow is the answer, however mine responce is more like this.............. and screaming on the inside!!!! AND THEN AGAIN, GREAT PREPARATION FOR TEH RELIGIOUS LIFE!!!!!! AS FOR YOUR QUESTION, YES TEH RESIDENCES DO HAVE A SMALL CHAPEL. IT IS NICE, SMALL AND VERY WONDERFUL AS WELL. I AM HOPING TO GET A ONE BOOK OF THE LOTH FROM THE DAUGHTERS OF ST PAIL BOOKSTORE, AND PRAY IN THE CHAPEL.....HOWEVER WHEN I WAS THERE FOR THE 2 WEEKS, I DIDN'T STEP FOOT ONCE INTO THE CHAPEL BUT I DID SEE WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE!

brandelynmarie Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 One thing at a time kiddo...baby steps....baby steps! I think it is wonderful that you are going there...It sounds strict in some ways...is it to help people begin religious formation? I know so little about Magdalene College....

Sixtina87 Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Its strict rules and regulations are to help and form people for the life that is ahead, not only for religious life but for all typs of vocations, single life and/or married life. The dress code I have gotten use to and have here and here applied it to my own life. However I am just stressed over this expence of going there. My family has already told me, that they are not going to help me pay for college, since I decided to go to Magdalen. However my books are $500.....I dont have that kind of money!!! I think my mom said she would help pay a short bit only because I am flat broke and she knew this was going to happen. I am in tears only due to money and trying to get things gathered up by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
