AlterDominicus Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Its amazing isnt it? Hoe we all have our own communities, we get excited about when things happen. For me I have particularly four, some are spontaneous of course because my range of PERSONALLY knowing the sisters like a sister-sister relationship is about 35 perhaps.

stlmom Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Looking forward to seeing the pictures when you can post them. Seems to me that these sisters have been mentioned before on the phorum with lots of positive comments about their community. Didn't they do a video of the "rappin' nuns" somewhere?

I remember Sr. Lois (she's really neat). I actually liked the community ... they were about 90% what I was looking for; except I was concerned that my spirituality wouldn't mix (I've been involved with the charismatic renewal for too long). But I really think very highly of them -- Carmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] They sure do! I don't know where it is, but it was good to see them all! When I saw that video, I hadn't been up there for a retreat in a whole year so it was nice to see! They are a wonderful and balanced community. The convent is so peaceful... I DEFINITELY recommend that everyone go up for a silent retreat. All time stops there. (getting carried away, can you tell?) PS I'm going on a retreat October 30th and 31st for my fall break!! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

be_thou_my_vision Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 The Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration have been approved in the Church since 1863... They started in Germany, but they have been here in Indiana sinec 1875. The Motherhouse is in Mishawaka IN (very near Notre Dame... you can see the footballl stadium from one of the convent hills!) and they have missions of health care and education throughout IN. You can read more about them on their [url="http://www.ssfpa.org"]website.[/url] Sister Lois, the vocations director is amazing and is wholeheartedly interested in doing God will, whatever it be. She is an awesome Mother of Souls, and I highly encourage going for a retreat. Their grounds are huge and very peaceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
