shortnun Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 [quote name='Ave Maria Totus Tuus' post='1352991' date='Aug 8 2007, 02:43 PM']On a side note, if any of you are ever planning to visit the Nashville Dominicans, PLEASE let me know! I'd love to come meet you, as I still have yet to meet any phatmassers in person. I know they've announced their retreat schedule for this year,[url="http://www.nashvilledominican.org/News/Retreat%20Schedule/Index.htm"] check it[/url]. I'll definitely be on the first Jesu Caritas weekend this October. Yay Dominicans!!!!!![/quote] I was there this past May--it's amazing how far the motherhouse has come in one year since the end of the construction. Do you know when the sisters receive the habit and make vows? Two girls from St. Louis will have new names! And a friend of mine from grade school is making first vows. It's very exciting!

She left the novitiate? Many prayers, may she walk with God always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have yet to attend a vow ceremony. I've emailed Sr. Mary Emily to see how everything went, but she hasn't responded. It's a VERY busy time for them now, not only with all the cermonies and schools starting up again, but also the Knights of Columbus Convention is in Nashville right now, with thousands of Knights and their families converging on Nashville, along with a hundred Bishops and Cardinals and even more priests, AND Cardinal Bertone, the Vatican Secretary of State! I've been keeping track of it all on my blog, [url="http://malaroux.blogspot.com"]This is for Glory[/url]. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlmom Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Well, fond of the Benedictines as I am, I did send a modest donation down to the Dominican Monastery of St. Jude in Alabama after getting a note from a former phatmasser who is receiving her habit today.

It's a tradition that the FRANKS and DOGS get together on this day as we BOTH consider St. Dominic AND St. Francis OUR HOLY FATHER.[/quote] So cool! [quote name='smc']If it were cooler we'd play a game outside but it's too humid! Maybe this afternoon we'll play "Miniature pool'! I'm not kidding! It's a table top pool table! It's great fun! Just my speed.[/quote] I hear ya. We had a heat index of 107 today with like 100% humidity... and I was out in a for a bit of the day. sweeeaaaat.

Ave Maria Totus Tuus Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Just heard back from Sr. Mary Emily! She says they had an incredible day at the Motherhouse. Cardinal Bertone, who is in town for the Knights of Columbus Convention, came to visit them and brought greetings to them from Pope Benedict!! She seemed ecstatic. She said that the photos of the recent ceremonies would be up in a couple days. Their nine new postulants entered 3 days ago and are doing well! That's the news from the Nashville front! HAPPY ST. DOMINIC!!!!! Edited August 9, 2007 by Ave Maria Totus Tuus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness For Christ Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Well... I guess you can say I sorta "celebrated" I ordered two books from the library and was able to get them today--both Dominican! One is Holy Teaching which is a selected section of the Summa Theologica with some explanation... (let's see if it's not too over my head!) and Amata Means Beloved by you know who! And at work I was naming the seagulls after Dominicans... There was Catherine, Rose, Dominic, Reginold, Pier Georgio, and Thomas... haha...
