Years ago, shortly after my high school graduation, a close friend invited me to meet some friends of his and to spend a few days with them. His "friends" were young Sisters from a local community that were hosting a community experience in a couple of weeks.
This was the first group of women religious whom I met whom I could actually picture myself as. Although I had grown up with Sisters practically in my own backyard, I had really never pictured myself as one of them. Here was a community of women, though, that I could actually even consider joining. They were alot like me--they enjoyed music, they danced, they laughed, they prayed, they had fun...they actually were human. I was instantly intrigued.
That was over 30 years ago now. Do you happen to know a single, Catholic woman who might be a good fit for our monastic community or is open to the call of God in her life? There is an opportunity for you to introduce her to us.
Please feel free to invite any single Catholic woman between the ages of 18 and 35 to consider our Monastic Moment experience or to contact us at (918)746-4205 or
vocations@stjosephmonastery.org.
