A few more Ignatian spirituality communities:

Missionary Sisters of St. Peter Claver

Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara

Les Xaviere (Canada)

Sisters of Charity of Australia

I believe St. Faustina’s congregations are also Ignatian.

Blessings,

Thanks for a great discussion, all!

I am working on a website where information like that you shared, as well as inspiration and community, could be developed. If you’re curious, the url is www.jesuitwomen.net.

Cloisters, would it be ok if I used your research on the “Ignatian Women’s Religious Orders” page? I can credit you if you like.

Peace and prayers,

Maggie

Certainly! I will also be posting your link to our Cloister Outreach and CONF Yahoo groups. All of our proposed charisms will begin as Ministries within the CAMM/CCMM. Vincentianism is a Way, not a particular spirituality. Several of our proposed charisms will have Ignatian spirituality. When there are enough vocations, the ministry will branch off into its own community. The CCMM will have non-religious annual vows, and the vocations will be self-sufficient until they form their communities. We are benchmarking off the diocesan hermit typology where self-sufficiency is concerned.

I had briefly corresponded with another poster from CAF who had wanted to be a Jesuitess. I had thought perhaps the “Daughters of St. Ignatius of Loyola” could be founded, but I never heard back from her.

St. Francis de Sales was Jesuit-educated, and his Introduction to the Devout Life is a “watered down” version (for lack of a better term) of St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises. I have found that I cannot go through the IDL once I’ve been through the SE.
