For video of the Clothing of Novice…scroll down to bottom on above link.
The SSC have now established a community of live in (at this point) semi contemplative religious in Nova Scotia, Canada. They are still, being so new, ‘finding their feet’ as to their horarium.

The website is most informative!

Is God calling you to a life of prayer and service?

Some comments only on the SSC, and especially listed below are those by some of our Catholic heirarchy and Vatican officials.

**“His Holiness (Pope Benedict XVI) will remember you and the Sisters in his prayers, and he invokes upon you the sustaining grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ.” **
The Vatican, Secretariat of State.

**"(We are) highly appreciative of the Community’s commitment to prayer for the oneness of all Christ’s disciples….such spiritual ecumenism is the heart of the search…" **
The Vatican, Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.

**"…actual movement for unity comes from within communities, and that seems to be exactly what is happening within your Community. I am moved by this knowledge…" **
Most Rev. Wilton Gregory, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Atlanta; former President of the USCCB.

**“I am very pleased that people around Australia are becoming interested in your way of life and I hope that you get more vocations from this part of the world. (The Sisters in Perth) are certainly giving good witness to people in their parish … and elsewhere, to Religious Life…….It is a joyful and prayerful vocation.” **
Most Rev. B. J. Hickey, Roman Catholic Archbishop pf Perth, Australia

"SSC can provide ways in which devout people can live their “normal” life in a “religious” one, enabling them to be more fully what they are and who they are… may be answering the need that was felt when the monastic movement first began."
The Rev. Canon Russell Elliott, priest and author.

Here’s a few orders I’ve met recently and think are pretty cool…

Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE)
Sisters Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara (SSVM)
Both of the above belong to the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word. Pretty orthodox, relatively young but growing fast, hear good things about them!

Also, the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word (MFVA), who run the EWTN network.

And how about the Sisters of Life (SV), who do a lot of work with pregnant women and promoting the Culture of Life?

Even if you haven’t posted the “Highlight Story” about an order, why don’t you still post their website on the side bar of your blog, or maybe just make a link to a list with a short description and a link to their web sites.
Like for the Sister Servants you could say something like:

Sister Servants of the Eternal Word
Dominican/Franciscan Nuns
Birmingham, AL
PICTURE

And then put a picture here of them, so we know what they sort of look like. I mean, I get really turned off by Sister-Mary-Miss-Her-Habits, and I hate looking at a website only to see a bunch of old women who are too “trendy” to wear a habit and live the life of a true nun. Sorry if I turn you off, but it is true, and it those same “nuns” that helped cause the trouble Church is now in.

Anyways, good luck and have fun, I’ll look in from time to time and catch up on your Tuesday Highlights. Maybe that is how God will lead me to the order where I will become a nun, or maybe it will prove to me that I shouldn’t be a nun:shrug: Only God knows.
Good luck, and I hope it is a great success.
Have a wonderful summer!

I was fortunate to meet the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus over the summer in St. Louis, MO. I think they are beautiful sisters with two great apostolates (three, if you add their contemplative prayer!). Here’s the Central Province’s website:

carmelitedcj.org/

I am also looking at these Discalced Carmelite orders:

Terre Haute, IN
heartsawake.com/

Arlington, TX (my favorite)
carmelnuns.com/
(they have no pictures of their nuns on the website, but if you would like, I could download the pictures I have in a magazine that Mother Maria sent me)

Georgetown, CA
carmelitemonastery.com/

Alhambra, CA
members.aol.com/teresacarm/
(Gorgeous order; completely traditional habits)
For a while I was looking at the Poor Clare-Collettines and I really liked these orders:

Poor Clares of Roswell, NM
poorclaresroswell.com/

Poor Clare-Collettine Nuns of Belleville, IL
poorclares-belleville.info/

Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration (Mother Angelica’s order)
olamshrine.com

Hope this helps!👍
 
how about:

Christ in the Desert, a conservative Benedictine abbey that is also growing. It has 3 foundations, 2 in Mexico and 1 in Chicago, all of which are growing, and is establishing a new one in Texas
 
Google up: Franciscan Sisters Minor founded by Mother
Mary Clement, FSM, in 2000. She used to be a Daughter
of St. Paul (Paulines). Her new community wears a habit,
has at least 7 hours of prayer everyday, lives an authentic
Franciscan life & in growing rapidly. One photo in their
gallery shows 6 novices…
