There are some impressions that they are a "co-ed" convent. The brothers and the sisters live VERY separately.

The next time I'm in a habit someone get me a little lamb to hold.

Or maybe I'll somehow get the random chance to go to a county fair or something. Then I'll hold a lamb!!!! (And have someone take a picture. :evil: )

I recently met a little lamb at a Mountain Mushroom festival (no, not [i]that[/i] kind of mushroom.... :mellow: ) and his name was Spartacus. He was SO cute! :love:

i love this thread!! [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/love.gif[/img]

I agree, and I've enjoyed the new photos that were added. Thank-you! For some reason, I find pictures of nuns and Sisters very relaxing and comforting, especially when they look happy. Obviously, I don't DISLIKE the pictures of them at more serious times, such as during the ceremony of the reception of the habit, etc. Even if the nuns/Sisters are not smiling widely in those pictures, they look content and touched by God--maybe even better than smiling.

I particularly enjoy seeing the pictures of new postulants entering, and of them receiving the habit of the novitiate. The number of new entrances in a given community may be only 2 or 3 postulants and/or novices, but even 2 or 3 entrances adds up to a lot of new vocations for a community when it is repeated every year.

I think these Sisters look a lot like Amish or Mennonites, except that the Sisters don't wear a "prayer cap." Yes, the Mennonites/Amish are not Catholic, but they are certainly examples of people who "live their faith," and normally live very holy lives. I also respect their strong pacifist beliefs.
