You were saying on another thread that the Catholic church has no "orthodox, evangelical wing".

These young ladies are orthodox and very definitely evangelical, in the sense of wanting to win souls for Christ. I know some of them (Nashville Dominicans); they teach my kids.

Their order just built a huge new motherhouse because the old one was stuffed to the gills with postulants.

If those are the Dominicans Sisters of Saint Cecilia, I can never turn down one of their fundraising letters. I think they just completed a huge new dorm for postulants if memory serves. There is also a Dominican Province called the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne named after the natural sister (or daughter; forget which) of Nathaniel Hawthorne located in New York. Their habit is different though.
