Saint Therese Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Can anyone tell me about the charism of the Community of Saint John, the Sisters in particular? Edited December 3, 2007 by Saint Therese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 [quote name='Saint Therese' post='1428390' date='Dec 3 2007, 04:43 AM']Can anyone tell me about the charism of the Community of Saint John, the Sisters in particular? [/quote] Total chaos? The brothers originated from a group of men who studied under a Dominican (woo!) friar. Because the Dominicans didn't accept new vocations in France, they formed their own community directed by Fr. Marie-Dominique Philippe. They want to be "a family of God's children", with Jesus and Mary. Their main apostolate is with the young, and they go everywhere they're sent to (Our bishop is heavily jealous, er, happy for the bishop of Rotterdam (our southern neighbour) because there are brothers AND contemplative sisters there.) The brothers are all active, the sisters have an active and a contemplative branch. The contemplative sisters wear a white veil (with whimple!) because their founder said something along the lines of "one should always feel as a novice" (translating in my head from French to Dutch to English makes things go weird ). The active sisters wear veils in the colour of their habit (dark grey, in some areas lighter grey). The professed have whimples. That's all I can say... probably mostly incorrect . But as I understand there are a lot of St. John fans around here, they'll be able to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praying4carmel Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 You can't Miss them! They really stand out in that bright Blue! What a Great Bunch of women! They have the main convent in Rockford and a few of them here in Freeport. Several Go to Highland community College where they are studying nursing. One of them won our family's yearly scholorship in Biology last year. It's not alot of money but I was thrilled that one of the sisters had won! They are really a blessing to our community.
