Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Saturday, March 05, 2011
Recently, my home diocese welcomed several new Norbertine Sisters. Today, I’d like to share with you a wonderful documentary created by KNXT TV, where I am humbled to serve as a volunteer and on the board of directors. In this documentary, which has been split into two parts, you will learn about the order and meet some of the individual nuns who make up our local Norbertines. I know you will fall... READ MORE
Happy Vocation News
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Thursday, August 19, 2010
I’ve so come to look forward to The Anchoress’ periodic vocation round-ups.
There’s no better evidence that the Church is young and alive as the pope once exclaimed.

Rejoice!
11 sisters of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles professed their perpetual vows earlier this week.
Their diocesan paper describes the scene:
“There were rings, flowers, vows, even a reception with a wedding cake. Only this wedding had twelve brides and each of them were draped in a funeral pall symbolizing their mystical death to the world and to themselves.”

In a follow-up to the Dominican nuns highlighted by Oprah, the sisters talk about how they gave Oprah a rosary after the show.
Oprah Winfrey was surprised after her recent show featuring the Dominican Sisters of Mary when the sisters in the studio said they had a present for her. “No one ever gives me a present,” the television star said. Then, as Sr. Teresa Benedicta related in a talk before a packed... READ MORE

Innovative Carmelites Sell Smoother Skin
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Hmmmm.
When I first read about members of a Teresian Carmelite monastery selling wrinkle cream to support themselves, I wasn’t sure what to think.
For sure, Easamine is quite a different product from the traditional coffees, jams, and jellies and we’re accustomed to seeing orders produce to support themselves. But does that mean it’s a bad thing?

It’s an exciting time for women religious in our country.
The first ever Apostolic Visitation of Insitutes of Women Religious in the United States is underway.

You simply must see and listen to this photo essay Time Magazine did on the Dominican Sisters of Summit, NJ.
The pictures are gorgeous—such joy on the nuns’ faces!—but what they say about cloistered life is even more lovely.
Good advice for young people thinking about God’s path for them.
Here’s a link to the Dominicans’ website, too.
