Ahhhh, the Sisters of St. Joseph! They wandered off the path, when they began contemplating God in nature. One of their Provincial Houses is just up the block from where I live. During Lent, they open the House to anyone who wishes to attend (for a fee), a series of Lenten reflections. While I attended the mattinee showing of The Passion of the Christ on Good Friday, the Sisters of St. Joseph were reflecting on new life springing from a seed in the garden. It should come as no surprise to anyone, except the Sisters, that their ranks are shriveling up. Perhaps this year, they can spend their Lenten retreat contemplating a 'goose egg' and how it relates to vocations ;-D.
If it happens again, I will speak to the monsignor about it.
Why wait? Strike while the iron is hot! You have other witnesses to this chicanery but be prepared. The monsignor may very well throw his support to the Sisters. Last year, my (now former) pastor, who serves as chaplain at the Provincial House, told me how the Sisters dance at their liturgies. He enjoyed it so much that he decided to introduce liturgical dance to the parish. An exchange of letters with the Diocesan Office for Divine Worship, backed up with solid references, was all it took to stop him cold in his tracks.
Have no fear...it will happen again at next month's Parents' Guild meeting, and I may even tape it. THEN I'll talk to monsignor.
Regards,
PS: "Off the path, indeed!" And what a shame, too, because all the sisters are very nice (and very old) ladies. It will be difficult for me to do this.
