We are preparing an Open House for women who would like to come and "shadow us" as we go about our prayer life, community life and apostolate. If you've ever wanted to get an inside perspective on life as a Sister, or ever imagined yourself living this lifestyle, consider coming to visit during this time.
The days to visit are April 10-17. We stop on Holy Thursday because our community lives the Holy Triduum in complete silence and long hours of prayer that can be a little difficult to handle if you have not had the preparation for it!
WHO: For young ladies, age 18 - 35.
WHAT: "Shadow the Sisters Days" You will live as the Mercedarian Sisters do in their everyday life.
WHERE: Our Lady of Mount Carmel Community in Cleveland, OH.
WHEN: April 10-17, 2014. Women may stay for one day, or may choose to stay for more, as their schedule allows.
WHY: To learn how Mercedarian Sisters pray, eat, teach, evangelize, and have fun in everyday life.
HOW: Travel to our Cleveland community. Bring casual clothes. There is no fee, although donations are accepted.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Meet the Sisters; make new friends with other young women who share your same dreams, and discern your vocation.
If you are interested, please register online.
