I found these groups interesting!

I do like Carmelites.

I know, for me, I am looking at only traditional Carmelite orders who wear the full habit with the wimple, mantle and the long veil. Fortunately, I’ve been able to find orders like this who wear the full habit but are still loyal to the Church. One such order is the Valparaiso Carmel, which I’ve heard is getting some new vocations. They celebrate the EF Mass, pray the Liturgy 7 times a day, and wear the full habit and veil. They are a 1990 Constitution Carmel, which is more traditional and closer to what St. Teresa of Avila wanted in her Reform.

I used to be looking at just Discalced Carmelite orders who had a habit, whether it was full or modified, but I discovered that the one I was looking at the most (Savannah Carmel) was a little too modernized. Their numbers are very small and they have had to take women from Kenya in order to increase their numbers. In fact, the 2 nuns that are already there have already been clothed in the habit, which makes me think that they transferred from another Carmel. When Sr. Joann (Prioress) told me that they were coming, I thought they were going to be postulants. Since finding out they weren’t, I realized they haven’t had a new vocation in years. All the nuns are 20+ years older than me. So I stopped discerning with them. (they are 1991 Constitution’s Carmel, which is more modern than the 1990)

I am now looking at these 1990s Carmels:

Valparaiso, NE
(they are so traditional that they don’t use the internet; but here’s a website that is from their diocese: dioceseoflincoln.org/mauve/carmelite.htm)

Iron Mountain, MI (Gorgeous order)

Cristo Rey in San Francisco, CA
jnelson.com/Church%20Installs/carmelite_monastery.htm
db.religiouslife.com/reg_life/irl.nsf/org/99

Loretto, PA
db.religiouslife.com/reg_life/irl.nsf/org/28

Georgetown, CA
carmelitemonastery.com/

Sheffield, England, UK (even though I live in the states, LOL)
kirkedge.org.uk/

I also have these 1991 Carmels in mind too, because they are more traditional then their counterparts:

Arlington, TX

Alhambra, CA

Terre Haute, IN

I’ll put in another vote for the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE.) I’ve worked closely with the IVE and am blown away by their energy and devotion.

The IVE’s main focus is evangelism through the promotion of vibrant parish life. They normally begin operating in a diocese when the bishop invites them to staff one or more parishes. They are a missionary order and they staff parishes all over the world. Plus, the IVE was personally entrusted with the responsibility of evangalising Kazakhstan by Pope John Paul II – a scope of responsiblity that few religious orders have been given.

ivevocations.org/

There is a companion order of sister, the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara: servidoras.org/

Things that impress me about the IVE:

1 – The pure joy that the members of the IVE live out in their daily lives.

2 - Reverent celebration of the liturgy

3 - Commitment to evangelism (when the IVE arrives at a parish, they go door-to-door to encourage people to return to the church – how cool is that?)

4 - Devotion to parish life

5 - Ministry to Hispanics

6 - Sense of camaraderie and family

I got this from a friend of mine in the inbox the other day…
I don’t know if you’ve covered these nuns… but I was recently given a tip from a local family about a new community of Dominican nuns near Christendom.

I just did a quick search, and this came up:

Apparently they’ve reappropriated 3:30 Matins, a traditional practice which had been abandoned.

See this quote from the article:

“Sister M. Fidelis then spoke of the community’s movement in response to John Paul II’s “call to a new evangelization” and its revival of many ancient Dominican traditions, the absence of which after Vatican II left the community at a loss. For example, the Sisters said that they have returned to the 3:30 night office in the past few years as well as perpetual abstinence (no more steak, ladies!), the only exception being chicken on Sundays. Other small liturgical things within the monastery will also be re-appropriated. “When you think about it, these women 800 years ago were doing these same traditions,” reflected Sr. Mary Fidelis.”

I can’t wait to see what happens when the Dominican rite is liberalized by the order… I bet you (but don’t honestly know) that these nuns would love to have a Dominican rite Mass.

Anyone have any experience with these Dominicans to report?
 
Here is a order in France, Victim Nuns of the Sacred Heart of Jesus - tradvocations.blogspot.com/search/label/Victim%20Nuns%20of%20the%20Sacred%20Heart%20of%20Jesus

I have visited twice and have written for about 3-4 yrs (and still do) the Poor Clare Colettines in Cleveland Ohio at:

website: poorclarecolettines-cleveland.org/
site with photos of them: cmykstudios.com/poorclares/index.htm

The community and extern sisters (their picture is the 3rd picture down) in Cardinal Sean’s blog: cardinalseansblog.org/2007/06/
 
I would love to see something about the Sisters of Life in New York City and the Servants of God’s Love in Ann Arbor Michigan

I got this e-mail today…
I read your Black Cordelias blog every day and enjoy it.

Would you please consider featuring the Cloistered Dominican Nuns in Lufkin, Texas at the Monastery of the Infant Jesus?

They number between 30, and are very solid and orthodox. They have many young sisters and 4 or 5 different nationalities.

This is their web site: www.nunslufkin.op.org
Click to expand...
They have a blog at their site. It’s called “Life on Lotus Lane”. You can click on it at the bottom left hand column.

If you have any questions, please feel free to write me, or the nuns at their site.
Thank you for considering my request.

God bless you and Happy New Year,

Every time you turn around, you hear about more Dominican nuns out there. It is little wonder - with all these wonderful women praying for them - that the Dominican men are doing so well these days.

I have fallen a bit behind on this project… but am still intersted in hearing more about what is out there.

More thoughts?
 
You never posted on the Herald of the Gospel or added them to the list.
Anyhow, I commented on your post on the Good Thief.
