DameAgnes Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I occurred to me today that I haven't read any good news out of the PCPA's at OLAM in quite a while. No investitures for 2008, at all among the 2007 postulants, so far. Perhaps we can all say a prayer in particular for the postulants and novices in formation in that house?

Also there was supposed to be another investment at the beginning of August... maybe they just havent gotten around to posting pics yet. There have been a couple of new postulants though, and a first profession-pics on the website olamshrine.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 + Consider also that there is no room for new individuals at OLAM until current individuals leave. So, if you are not hearing much -that is okay! It means individuals aren't leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also helped re-found the founding monastery in France (along with nuns from other PCPA monasteries), and sent sisters to help with St Joseph's Monastery as well.

DameAgnes Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 The Texas foundation sounds exciting. I wish the AZ sisters were having better luck attracting novices. But I think it must be difficult when some see how daunting it is to begin a foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterton Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 They will be having another investiture on January 21, God willing. And several of the sisters are up for final profession next year, I believe. God bless OLAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is really sweet--I just love her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 When a new convent is founded, do they remain part of the original convent, or do they become independent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
