Engineering Nun?

[Brendan]

I’m afraid I don’t have much advice to give, but I am in the same boat as you, so to speak. I’m 22 years old and studying computer science :compcoff:. I love programming but also feel a strong call to be a nun.:nun2: Like you, I worry that giving up my career would deprive the world of the things I can do using my engineering skills.

FYI, the person who runs the Vatican IT dept, including Vatican.va, is a religious sister.

I don’t want to be an engineer, but I do feel like I wouldn’t want to stay in the same country for the rest of my life. The trouble is, I would only want to be with a traditional order. To be a nun and not attend mass in the old rite would be awful. Does anyone know if traditional nuns can be apostolic nuns and still move around a little bit? I’m so greedy, I want it all

There definitely has to be a lot of sacrifice when it comes to religious life but I can’t help thinking that it might be possible to have all those things I mentioned above in religious life.

The problem is we’re all asking questions and nobody here has answers!

I believe the francisans of the immaculate fit your description. There are others too out there just ok for them.
