Sorry for not posting in a while...here in Virginia, it's ragweed season, so I've been rather sick for the past couple of weeks. Needless to say, I'll need to start preparing for the Feast of Holy Father Francis next week!
The following post is looooooonnnnng overdue....The Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity are a wonderful group of active sisters based in Wisconsin. A couple of years ago, I wrote a post about their congregation, and since that point, it seems as though they've continued to grow! Their vocation website is one of the best I've ever seen, and underscores the call to live in the world, but not of the world. That being said, their "Franciscanized World" section of the website contains beautiful songs by popular artists, posts on vocation and the Christian life, and much more.
One of the sisters asked me to post the following information on their vocation retreats. If you think you might have a call to the religious life, I encourage you to check it out! :
