Yeah they seem like a really joyful bunch. Has anyone besides Chelsea seen the vocations DVD they made?

I am really bad about remembering to take pictures when I go anywhere, but I'll try to remember a camera to share some photos of the visit with y'all :)

Thanks everybody for all the responses! I really need to pray about where God wants me.

Do they accept women who are 18? Right now I'm all lined up to go to Franciscan in the spring, but God has been known to change my plans rather abruptly...

On the IRL page for [url="http://religiouslife.com/vocsearch/search.phtml?view=d&my_id=41&criteria=d"]Whitesville[/url], it says they accept women 18-40. For [url="http://religiouslife.com/vocsearch/search.phtml?view=d&my_id=40&criteria=d"]Erlanger[/url], it's 21-35. I'm not sure about St. Louis .. Prayers for your discernment! :pray:

The CRNJ have returned to England. The Tridentine Latin Mass is still being offered on Sundays by a priest from the Archdiocese for now.

Sorry I didn't have much time to post earlier. My visit was great! They are a beautiful community, as is very apparent on their vocations DVD, website, etc. Their spirituality is just awe-inspiring and so fundamental to the Church's mission. They are right at the heart of the Church, living the Paschal Mystery (and preaching it in word and example). They really seem to be so faithful to their original charism and to very authentic monastic life. They are very simple. I was very impressed overall!

Wow, it's great to hear about your visit! Yeah, their spirituality is really something, to be so especially devoted and vowed to a greatful rememberance of the Passion of Christ. St. Paul of the Cross was quite an intense guy ..

I felt this way also after visiting the St. Louis Passionists and reading their vocation literature. Their spirituality really goes right to the heart of the contemplative life. It is not at all "beating around the bush" if that term can be correctly used here, about meditating and being consecrated to a very sorrowful and difficult thing, Christ's Passion, as brides of Christ - not in any way implying that the spiritualities of the other great orders do - but again, the Passionist's particular spirituality goes right to the heart of this. God bless them!
