It is actually much more complex and nuanced than you suggest. amycsjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431187526427064594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168054323536810543.post-60341614965868985652016-08-21T18:09:48.577-05:002016-08-21T18:09:48.577-05:00My dear Amy,

The Dominican Sisters of Mother Mary of the Eucharist are having 10-12 women enter each year; their retention is high. The Marians of the Immaculate Conception (men's community) are having 6-7 enter each year, and their retention is very good too. Perhaps looking at what they are doing because they are doing something right, and having communities that are more traditional is the answer. Many communities have had to sell off parts of their motherhouses when other communities are in the process of building projects because they have so many vocations.<br />This is in no way meant to be a criticism but something that I don’t understand and would appreciate your perspective.<br />If each sister in a community worked toward replacing themselves, we would not have the decline. <br />Thank you,<br />Phyllis<br />Psalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953590904866891036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168054323536810543.post-52949558389848506172016-08-21T18:07:04.987-05:002016-08-21T18:07:04.987-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Psalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953590904866891036noreply@blogger.com
