We had a very active Catholic homeschool group in Tulsa, and it was fun going to the park with three moms and 19 children :-).
We're in a nondenominational group here. The families with double-digit numbers of children seem to be Baptists.
I am a member of the Militia of the Immaculata and have been invited to join the lay Carmelites several times (my age is a consideration; I'm older than dirt ;-o). It is a beautiful Charism and I have given it serious consideration.
The Carmelites are a wonderful Order; I still wear my brown scapular always with my Miraculous Medal. I ask God's Mother to assist you in your decision.
And, may I make a suggestion? Please read "Father Elijah" which is a remarkable book and part of a Trilogy on the end times. It is available from any Catholic book site, Leaflet Missal on-line, or Catholic Company.com. It could be the "whisper" you are waiting to hear.
God bless!
Francis
