Dear Sisters, I’ve been experiencing something today and just wanted to share it with you in case you didn’t already know. The Los Angeles Religious Education Congress is live casting at http://www.recongress.org/live/default.htm all weekend long. It’s neat to be far away and yet feel so close to something so big.
Happy feast of Saint Joseph, sisters! I’ll “see” you on-line tonight.

hi SJ,
I know it is required of all sisters to change their name, but do some orders not permit it at all?

Jeannie March 19, 2010 at 11:36 am

oops, I meant not required! Haha

My congregation (Felician-Franciscan Sisters) require us only to add some form of Mary to our name.
